Cannot update new.3dm file in ICEM based on rpl file

Dear All:

Hello~~

I am a new guy in CFD simulation. I am trying to connect rhino(3D model software) with ANSYS. I found ICEM can read .3dm file(Rhino file) so I think maybe can use rpl file to let ICEM automatic meshing my 3dm file by itself. After I did rpl file I found It can work but without update.

It means when I revise my .3dm file, ICEM cannot automatic input the same name .3dm file by itself(based on rpl file). I check the process, the ICEM always input .tin file which saved previously.So I think no matter I change the .3dm file or not, ICEM will still read the old .tin file. The automatic process seems failed. It is just my thinking maybe I am wrong.

So does anyone can give me some advise? Or maybe some export

can teach me how to set ICEM process? Or maybe someone have the same problem? Please share your ideas~~~

Thanks for anyone who pay attention to my topic~~~

Thanks a lot

Jimmy
