Adding Named Selections

Matty_A · June 4, 2014, 16:33

I have found if I add the named selections within mesher after the Fluent solver has been opened it causes issues in Fluent. In other words, if I forget to add the named selections before starting Fluent is there any way to add these and then run fluent without starting over in workbench.

Thanks for any insight.

Mmm, I don't think you can do this because, when FLUENT starts it checks all the boundaries and if they don't have a explicit name and they are adjacent to each other, FLUENT will sew most of them and will put a default name to each cluster of walls. So, if this doesn't serves to you you will have to do all again in your mesher. Regards
