[ANSYS Meshing] Use of replay script for automatic meshing for the same kind of Geometry in ICEM

Hi, everyone

I have almost 30 rocket nozzle contours having a different inlet and exit angle of a divergent section of the nozzle. All the nozzle contoures have been made on Autodesk Inventor.

Now, I have meshed one contour in ICEM CFD using blocking strategy and recorded all the steps in Replay script. Now I want to use this replay script for other remaining contours.

As we all know, replay script works on point, curves and surface names in ICEM. Now the problem is coming like when I am importing STEP or IGES file in ICEM for different contours, the point, curves, and surfaces name are coming with different names for all contours. e.g. similar kind of color 1 and contour 2 has three curves. So when I import this STEP file to ICEM, curves names for the contour 1 is like curve 1, curve 2 and curve 3 and for contour 2, curve names is curve 2, curve 3, curve 4. So, my replay script doesn't work or if it is worked, it is creating arbitrary meshing.

So, is there any settings in ICEM through which I can have the same names for all points, curves or anything I have to do while exporting a file from Autodesk ??

Hi, Ruchit
I also meet this problem now. Have you handled it?
Please give me some hints.
