Setting Boundary Types

Certain boundary types affect the volume mesh. In this tutorial, you have a velocity inlet, pressure outlet, and symmetry boundaries that do not require prism layers. Simcenter STAR-CCM+ does not grow prism layers on these boundaries by default .

To set the boundary types:
  1. Expand the Regions > Fluid Volume > Boundaries node.
  2. Set the following properties:
    Node Property Setting
    Bounding box.Far Field Type Symmetry Plane
    Bounding Box.Symmetry Plane Type Symmetry Plane
    Bounding Box.Inlet Type Velocity Inlet
    Bounding Box.Outlet Type Pressure Outlet
