Advanced Parametric Modeling in ANSYS SpaceClaim (Cylinder Example)

In this tutorial, we demonstrate how to create fully parametric hollow cylinders in ANSYS SpaceClaim by combining parameters and scripts.

By default, SpaceClaim does not provide direct equation-based parameter linking between dimensions such as OD and inside diameter (ID). In this video, we show a simple and robust scripting approach that allows you to link the inner and outer diameters, so modifying a single parameter automatically updates the geometry while preserving the wall thickness. This method is especially useful for: Parametric studies CFD geometry preparation Design optimization workflows Reusable and robust CAD models This tutorial is part of the ANSYS Fluent Q&A playlist, where we answer practical questions related to SpaceClaim, Fluent Meshing, and CFD-focused geometry modeling. #ANSYS #SpaceClaim #ParametricModeling #CFD #Fluent #Engineering #CAD #Scripting #DesignAutomation #FluidXAV 00:00 Introduction 02:35 Start Script in SpaceClaim 05:50 Run Script in SpaceClaim 06:18 How to delete a geometry with Script 07:55 Define variables in the Script in SpaceClaim 09:35 Publish as a Group in Script 10:45 Define parameters with Script in SpaceClaim 🔔 Subscribe for weekly Ansys Fluent and CFD tutorials: [https://www.youtube.com/@FluidXAV] 👍 Like | 💬 Comment | 📤 Share with your CFD network
