Cyclone Separator Exercise 2—Preparing the Mesh
A mesh is a computational grid inside, outside, or both inside and outside any closed geometry defined by a CAD surface.
Generating the Mesh
1. In the Flow Analysis Tree, select Domains.
2. In the Properties panel, Mesh tab, for Mesh Generation, type the following values:
◦ Maximum Cell Size—0.02
◦ Minimum Cell Size—0.0007
◦ Cell Size on Surfaces—0.01
The values are retained as default settings. You can change these if required.
3. Click 
Generate Mesh to create the mesh for the fluid domain.
