Need help icem cfd

ayush · June 27, 2011, 02:40

I am meshing a simple manifold, I created INLETS and OUTLETS parts, with a single material body in the fluid domain. But I created the inlet and outlet seleting Surfaces (Breaking connectivity of the initial TRM_SRFACE) . Now when I change the initial geometry dimensions and then try to remesh the new geometry with the same replay file. The outlet part just wont get created, however INLET does. I am automating the meshing process. And this seems the final hurdle... PLZZ help..

I am using an IGES file to mesh the manifold (created via Surfaces option)

I found a way around the problem, but that too has a misgiving, I now need to create a Replay file .. via a replay file ... Can that be done ?

Yes, you can record the command to save a replay file in the replay file... so no problem... But why?

The reason I needed the replay file to record a replay file is,
the part OUTLETS I created via selection, wouldn't have the same feature names if say I ran the same replay file for a scaled version of the geometry, as I found out. i.e. if say every dimension of the same model were made 6 times (without creating something new in the geometry) I expected ICEM CFD to keep the names of the curves and points same as the previous model, for automation of the MESHING PROCESS.
But Alas ! that wasn't the way icem was working !! And since a replay file can capture all the feature names when I break connectivity of the Surfaces, I can use a bit of programming to extract the names from the replay file... I have done this without using replay files but using the tetin file of the model and it is working perfectly, but a replay file will cut my programming really short.... Please help !!
Summary :
Replay 1 : Model Scale 1
Outlet Selected feature : F_44 (say)
Replay 1 : Model Scale 6 (Dimensions made 6 times the orignal)
Outlet Selected Feature : F_48 (though I did nothing to the geometry, but scaled it, the feature name changed !)

Hello dear friend.
What is RMB and LMB in ICEM? Could you please explain it?

Left mouse button stands for LMB and
right mouse button stands for RMB
