Unable to create Block

Sparsh · September 20, 2015, 19:49

Hello,

I am done with the surface mesh and domains. When I'm trying to create block using Assemble special/Block, the six faces can't be assembled.
What could the reason! Attached the picture of the mesh. Its an unstructured mesh.
It says: Info: "0 block(s) created, 52 domain(s) unused"

Hi Sparsh:

are you trying to assemble a structured block or unstructured? The comment about 6 faces sounds like structured block assembly, but it looks like all the domains are unstructured. If you are making a structured block, you will need structured domains for its faces. If you are making an unstructured block, you only need 1 face, which consists of all the domains forming the boundary of the block.

Hope this helps,
Rick
