hamidciv Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 hi dear friends :(i want drawing What I like attachments, My problem is that my body should be in a volume, in other words Should be selected with a click all my objects, how i cant create in one box , holes in form rectangle so that my object selected with one click or be Continuous. i want draw one reservoir of dam, When the water reaches a certain level , from front hole overflow, how do this? I hope my request is clear thanks a lot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Are you saying that your structure, as you drew it, is just a series of lines and not a true 3D solid? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamidciv Posted January 29, 2015 Author Share Posted January 29, 2015 dear remark, i want model reservoir in ansys , ansys only accepted Volume which is continuously, Is shown as a continuous volume,So that with one click of the chosen. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 I am not familiar with the term an "ansys" volume. Sorry. Someone else will have to assist you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamidciv Posted January 29, 2015 Author Share Posted January 29, 2015 dear remark , i want only ine body Such as that shown in AutoCAD file, my geomety model should modeled in autocad , and No communication with Ansys, i want one volume with rectangle hole in one surface , please your possible help me. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 OK. Please wait one moment. I need to fetch something. I'll be back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Here is an example of a 3D solid box with three rectangular openings in one face. Is this anything like what you are attempting to create? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 How does this look? Of course I am guessing at just about everything since I do not have the benefit of your knowledge so treat this as a rough concept OK? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Yes, I know it is not quite like yours but I created it for demonstration purposes only. It's just water over the dam right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamidciv Posted January 29, 2015 Author Share Posted January 29, 2015 (edited) dear remark , do you sent object is continuous volume? if your shape that sent for me with one click selected, I mean exactly what it is. very thanks spend your time.

lrm Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 hamidciv - A single "continuous volume" is commonly referred to in CAD as a single "solid" model. The union Boolean operation can be used to create a single solid (continuous volume) from several other solid model objects if they touch or overlap. Are you planing to use ANSYS to do a stress analysis of the structure restraining the water (the dam - the gray volume in ReMark's model)) or a hydrostatic analysis of the forces the water generates (the blue shape), or something else?

ReMark Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 dear remark , do you sent object is continuous volume? if your shape that sent for me with one click selected, I mean exactly what it is.very thanks spend your time. Everything that is color grey is a 3D solid although I did not join the individual parts yet. When I do join them using the UNION command they will become one solid object. Does that answer your question? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamidciv Posted January 30, 2015 Author Share Posted January 30, 2015 dear irm, My goal is to study the flow field in spillway and flip bucket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamidciv Posted January 30, 2015 Author Share Posted January 30, 2015 (edited) dear remark, i want create multiple holes in front surface, And then put spillway after hole To overflow water, i cant converted it into a solid form, because my cube consist of surface with hole, Which cant come in solid, please tell me , how do this? i cant union command because my cube Is not in form solid, if you success drawed my body please explain me. thanks a lot Edited January 30, 2015 by hamidciv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamidciv Posted January 30, 2015 Author Share Posted January 30, 2015 dear remark, i understand this part if shapes that your sent, please explain rest of objects. thanks a lot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 I created some of the objects by drawing their 2D profile then using either the Extrude or PressPull command to give them depth/height. A surface can be converted to a solid using the Thicken command. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lrm Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 dear irm, My goal is to study the flow field in spillway and flip bucket. I think then that you want to model the water volume. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamidciv Posted January 30, 2015 Author Share Posted January 30, 2015 dear remark Unfortunately I did not answer my question, object in last post i sent, around that have Thickness, while i want only in surface that have hole contains thickness, how do this? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 I do not understand your question. My advice is to do this drawing using 3D solids and no surfaces. However, it is possible to create a hole in a 3D surface just as one would do with a solid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamidciv Posted January 30, 2015 Author Share Posted January 30, 2015 dear remark ,I'm trying to do exactly the same steps that you to draw Have done, I've expressed in the following form, my body is one volume. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
