Hypermesh cfd help

Sai Raghava Pathuri

I am working on reinforced carbon composites and want to study the flow through the composite. Iam new to hypermesh cfd software and since my structure doesnt have closed contours as shown below, I dont understand how to generate a solid mesh for flow study. Can anyone help me with it . I am using hypermesh cfd 2023 version.

You would need to use of the tools in HyperMesh CFD to construct additional surfaces, so that you have a closed volume for fluid.

If you upload you CAD, it might be possible for someone to create a short video to show the process.
