[ICEM] Removing the Unstructured Mesh from an ICEM Project

scribby182 · February 1, 2013, 15:27

I'm sure I'm repeating a past question, but I can't seem to find an answer so please forgive me.

Is there a way in ICEM to discard the existing unstructured mesh from a project? I am meshing something using the structured controls and then converting the pre-mesh to unstructured for CFX, and I have a past iteration of the unstructured mesh associated with the project. Is there any way to remove that unstructured mesh without replacing it? I'm making large changes to the pre-mesh and it takes 30-60 seconds to save the unstructured mesh every time I save the project. The only way I've come up with is to delete the .uns file before opening the project, but it seems like there should be a better way.

Thanks for your help,
