Hi,

I have a little complex duct assembly and i am tying to generate internal fluid with Plug / Fill Cavities tool, but i am unable to create after trying different options Bounding lines, surfaces with cavity surface

Is it possible to Auto generate or fill voids just like in AcuConsole during import of CAD file itself

    What might help is to generate the "cap" surfaces at domain inlet/outlets.

    Then use the bounding box icon to create a volume.

    Are you able to share/post the HWCFD database?  Are you using 2021.2 - or the newly-released 2022?
