Split Face Feature

[Latitude]

Hi,

I am pulling a design in for CFD and need to split a face to apply separate boundary conditions.


I need to be able to split the face here to apply an inlet and outlet condition on the two circles.


For now I have just made a small 0.0001mm projection


And that allows me to select just that face.


Is there a different way to accomplish this in Alibre without having that tiny step in the geometry? If it matters the part is built circuit first where I model the fluid channels and then I derive a fluid volume using Design Booleans. Both parts attached.


Thank you!

What is CFD for a animal, pulled from where.?
Separate boundary Conditions??

Hello Oldbelt,

put both parts into one folder and it should work.

One of the things wich come into my mind is :Computational Fluid Dynamics.

Separate boundary Conditions??

I would like to add more ? to this...

You could use the Thin Extrude Cut feature, (Help indicates that it is available in all versions of Alibre.)
Here's a video to demonstrate:

Hi all,

Apologies, by CFD I meant computational fluid dynamics.

Harold, thank you for the thin extrude tip.

Stefan, seperate boundary conditions would mean marking one face as the inlet for fluid flow and one face as the outlet for fluid flow just for example.
