Fluent import warning (referenced node number)

October 17, 2008, 01:14

Hi,

While I import my mesh generated in ICEM in fluent it gives me warning

"Warning: Number of nodes read (23240) does not match number referenced (17205). Resetting counter to match the number referenced."

What is this warning and how it impacts the solution? In what circumstances this warning should be attended.

I think this happens when you export the mesh from gambit then only face mesh gets exported not volume mesh. So, check whether any facemesh which is not of the part of the volumemesh has got exported or not.
