Dear Ramesh

Have you tried to input back the mesh in ANSA?
Is there volume mesh, or have you output just the surface mesh?
Make sure thatwhen you make the output both Macros and FE-mod
as well as Volume flags are active and ALL is visible.
Then make Output visible

Hope this helps

Hi Ramesh
Can you post a print screen of the fluent mesh
as read back in ANSA in MESH menu?

Thanks Ramesh

But I actually wanted to see the legend on the left
stating the number of elements.
Also this is not the mesh input back in ANSA
but the original one, as I can see the actual Perimeters of the Macros
