[ICEM] ICEM 'Volume Change' Pre-Mesh Quality function disapears in version 15.0

Hi,

I just notice that the ICEM 'Volume Change' Pre-Mesh Quality function disappears in version 15.0.

Could anyone know where it goes and how to turn it on? I'd like to use it to check my mesh quality.

PS: If Ansys people really forgot it in the version 15.0, I would think that's a huge carelessness as the grids expansion ratio 'Volume Change' is always one of the most important grids quality criteria for nearly all the CFD cases.

Hei Meimei,

it seems that this feature is available for 3D blocking/mesh only. I don't know whether previous releases provided 2D support for volume change quality.

With regards,
Sebastian
