The problem I am trying to solve is to study how erosion happens and what occurs to the device , for instance a stent , physically , that is obtain the eroded new geometry that can then be analyzed in Ansys Mechanical to learn about it's structural integrity, stability ,etc. Can this workflow be achieved using the GUI of the Ansys Fluent and Ansys Mechanical. For example using chemical analysis part in Ansys Fluent maybe?
Note: DPM is not relevant here as there the eroding particles are extra solids that hit and scrap away the solid object (pipe and such).
Sure, it is possible to simulate the erosion of stents using Ansys CFD and Ansys Mechanical. Here is a general overview of the process:
1. Geometry Creation: First, you need to create a 3D model of the stent geometry using Ansys Design Modeler.
2. Meshing: Next, you need to mesh the stent geometry using Ansys Meshing. This will create a mesh of small elements which will be used to solve the equations governing the fluid flow and material deformation.
3. Boundary Conditions: You will then need to define the boundary conditions for the simulation. This includes specifying the fluid flow rate, pressure, and temperature at the inlet and outlet of the stent, as well as the material properties of the stent.
4. CFD Simulation: Using Ansys CFD, you can then simulate the fluid flow through the stent, which will provide information about the fluid behavior and any potential erosion.
5. Structural Simulation: Using Ansys Mechanical, you can then perform a structural simulation of the stent to determine the deformation caused by the fluid flow, and thus determine any potential erosion.
6. Analysis: Finally, you can analyze the results of the simulation and determine the amount of erosion that has occurred.
Hope it helps!!

But what I need to know is how to do the erosion modelling in Ansys Fluent using chemical hydrolysis as the main cause and not mechanical impact and also how to collect the eroded CAD model from Fluent.
