Hello
I drew a wing in Solidworks that I would like to subject to an airflow using Flow Simulation. But I get the following error message:
Recognition of the volume of the fluid failed.
I looked on the Internet but apparently, it's not a recurring problem.
As a result, I can't complete my study. How to do it?
I join you the wing.
I should point out that I use Solidworks Premium 2014.
Thank you in advance.
First of all, it would be wise to know what you set
not having SW 2014 I can't open your file

Have you watched this tutorial
http://www.lynkoa.com/tutos/3d/tutoriel-simuler-un-flux-d-air-sur-une-forme-avec-solidworks
as well as this search page on the site

Thank you for your answer. I saw the tutorial and followed the exact same steps but I still have the same problem. But it's not a simple 3D wing profile like on the tutorial. I enclose a picture of the realization.
I don't see the problem why we visualize the internal frameworks
Did you remove the upper outer skin?
@+ ;-)
I checked the geometry, as advised. But I don't see what's wrong. I am attaching several screenshots.
I just changed the transparency.
Why did you try to make a hollowed-out structure for the simulation
It's the outer skin that counts and only the outer skin
So the creation of a complete solid is enough
there I don't understand your logic
@+ ;-)
In fact, I'm still working on my project explained here :http://www.lynkoa.com/forum/3d/simulation-d-un-ecoulement-autour-d-une-aile-et-analyse-frequentielle
However, a 3D wing profile and a wing with spars and ribs do not react in the same way to bending and twisting. For example, the stringers have a huge influence on the bending. Therefore the study of the frequencies of torsional and bending movements would be distorted.
yes that Thank you I understood well
I think I even answered you on the previous subject
But have you ever done your VIA flow study on a solid that takes up the volume of your part?
As for the twisting and bending movements, it's another thing, don't mix everything up, it's not flow

What you mean? Do the flow study with a 3D wing profile like on the tutorial?

I agree, but once I've defined my flow, I'll export the data to Simulation. I create an external load with flow effects and I introduce the created pressure field into Flow.
Look at your pictures, you have the answer on them ;-)
I have the impression that it's the internal volume you're looking for via the annotations?
Made of solid 1 piece
