Define Baffle Surfaces
Use the Baffles tool to define baffle surfaces.
Baffles can be defined on a topological baffle surface, or any surface based on simulation needs. During the solver run, baffles will be split into two faces and results will be available on both sides.
-
From the Flow ribbon, click the Baffles tool.
-
Using the guide bar selector, choose whether to define
the boundary condition on Surfaces or Thin
Solids.
Note: You can only select thin solids if layers have been defined using the Thin tool.
-
Select surfaces/thin solids.
If the Filter non baffle surfaces option is active, only topological baffles are available for selection; the rest of the surfaces are transparent. Turn off this option to select non-topological surfaces.
-
For thin solids, select a direction option from the guide bar.
Option Description Direction: Away from Parent Surface Define the condition on the boundary surface furthest from the parent surface. Direction: Adjacent to Parent Surface Define the condition on the boundary surface closest to the parent surface. Direction: Both Sides Define the condition on both sides of the boundary surface. -
In the dialog, input values for each tab.
- Turbulence
- TemperatureNote: This tab only becomes available if the Heat Transfer option is turned on in the Flow ribbon Physics tool.

From the guide bar, execute the command in the following
ways:
- Click to confirm your selection and remain in the
tool.
This allows you to continue creating instances and helps you visualize and edit instances with the legend.
- Click to confirm your selection and exit the tool.
- Click to confirm your selection and remain in the
