3. From the File Open dialog box, browse to the Multi-component-mixing folder and select MIXING_NOZZLE.asm. Click Open.
4. Click in the Graphics toolbar to display the style elements. Select Shading, or Shading with Edges.
5. Click the Applications tab.
6. Click Flow Analysis. The Flow Analysis tab opens.
7. Click New Project. If the Residual plot opens, close it.
8. Click Create Fluid Domain. The Fluid Domain Creation tab opens.
9. Click the Openings tab.
10. Click the Faces box. The Surface Sets dialog box opens.
11. In the Surface Sets dialog box, under Included surfaces right-click all the surfaces and click Remove All.
12. In the graphics window, press CTRL and select the four surfaces shown below. Four surfaces appear in the Surface Sets dialog box, under Included surfaces.
13. Click OK.
14. In the Fluid Domain Creation tab click to create the fluid domain.
Splitting the Boundary
1. In the Model Tree, right-click MIXING_NOZZLE_1_FLUID.PRT.
2. Click . The part opens in a new window. Make this the active window.
