I tried to use SU2 to modify a part of a solid surface, for vehicle aerodynamic optimization. The FFD box is constructed around a part of the surface. But the iteration stops after one step and the mesh seems to keep undeformed. SU2_CFD runs OK, so I think the settings in the config file seems OK. Could anyone please tell me what is the source of this problem? Thank you in advance.
The following is my parameters.
