Assign glass wool to walls and ceilings in an AEC model

00:03

To prepare for running an ambient room temperature simulation in Autodesk CFD,

00:08

you must specify the physical characteristics of the model.

00:12

This includes assigning materials to model parts.

00:16

In this example, glass wool insulation material is assigned to the walls and ceilings in an AEC model.

00:23

To start, left-click both the wall and ceiling parts to select them.

00:27

Then, on the ribbon, in the Setup tab, Materials panel, click Edit.

00:33

The Materials quick edit dialog opens, where you can select the material type.

00:39

For this example, under Property settings, click the Type value to expand the drop-down, and select Solid.

00:46

Next, expand the Name drop-down and select Glass Wool.

00:51

Click Apply.

00:53

To verify that the glass wool material is properly assigned, in the Design Study Bar,

00:58

confirm the material assignment for the two fixed Glass Wool parts.

01:02

Then, in the graphics window,

01:05

be sure that the color of the wall and ceiling parts now matches the Glass Wool color in the legend.

01:10

With this material assigned, you are ready to move on to the next step of preparing your model for a CFD simulation.
