Hello everyone!
I have a problem while saving my ICEM CFD mesh. When I click "Save" or just close the ICEM application (it saves before exiting) the structured mesh I've been working on automatically converts to unstructured. Is there a way to "unconvert" the mesh somehow back to the structured one or stop ICEM CFD from converting it to unstructured while saving/quitting? I hope for your help very much, because currently, ICEM is winning 7:0 in messed up projects of mine. ![]() |

For which solver will you use your mesh?

For ANSYS, but I want to save the mesh for the further corrections, etc.

I mean cfx or fluent.
But what do you mean by saving? By saving the project or exporting it to a solver (e.g. cfx or fluent)? To my best knowledge these are unstructured solvers so you can make a structured mesh, the solver uses it as an unstructured mesh anyway. If you want an export to something structured you should export to a (ancient) structured solver e.g. cfx-4 or star-cd. Good luck, Gert-Jan |

I wanted to mention Fluent, my bad. Yes, I want to save the project (or close it) but I want to be able to come back to it later for some mesh adjustments and refinements. I know that I can convert it to unstructured before sending it to Fluent, but as far as I know I can’t convert it back to structured to correct it.

Hi Grigory,
Quote:
In case you have a mesh but no blocking, you can find an option to resonstruct a blocking from a given mesh, if and only if it was created structuredly. Go to File> Blocking > Create from Unstruct Mesh Be warned, his feature can take quite some time to reconstruct a big mesh! But back to you original question, you could try to close your mesh(File>Mesh>close Mesh) before saving the project. Best regards, Sebastian |
