Assigning the Imported Part to a Region

Before you generate a mesh for the imported part, the part must be assigned to a Simcenter STAR-CCM+ region. As all the boundary conditions for this case are set directly on the part surfaces using segments, you can group all part surfaces under a single region boundary.

To assign the beam part to a region:
  1. Right-click the Geometry > Parts > Beam node and select Assign Parts To Regions...
Instruct Simcenter STAR-CCM+ to assign the beam part to a new region, and all the part surfaces to a single region boundary.
  1. In the Assign Parts to Regions dialog, choose the following options:
    Region option Create a Region for Each Part
    Boundary option Create a Boundary for Each Part (default)
  2. Click Apply then Close.
    Simcenter STAR-CCM+ adds a region, Beam, under the Regions node.
  3. Save the simulation.
