However, using "Form Assembly" seems to have introduced an issue in my boundary conditions. I originally had chosen No Slip boundary conditions for the boundaries between the helix the fluid, but since switching from"Form Union" to "Form Assembly", it appears the boundary conditions are no longer applied.
My thought was I could solve the loss of boundary conditions by applying some type of boundary condition to the identity pair produced by "Form Assembly." However there are two problems:
1. An Identity pair was not produced by "Form Assembly."
2. Even if there was an identity pair to select, I'm not sure how I would go about applying No Slip boundary conditions.
I haven't been able to figure out why an identity pair isn't produced. As for the boundary conditions, I don't think "Pair -> Flow Continuity" is the right choice since the helix is not a fluid, it's a solid. Maybe "Pair -> Wall" is the proper choice? Or maybe it's a different option entirely?
