Double meshing while piecing together a workbench through files folder?

federernadal · January 16, 2016, 15:57

Long story short - my wbpj is corrupted (computer froze in the middle of a save, and I power shut it down, turned it back on, now the wbpj just has a basic hex error).

Good news though, the files folder is fine.

Now, I would like to duplicate one of the blocks I had (with the geometry, mesh, setup, solution, and run) so I can duplicate, make tweaks to the geometry (move a fan a foot up etc).

Procedure - I rename the meshdb file to a meshdat, import that from workbench screen (gives a geo-mesh block).

Now, I drag and drop a cfx block on to the mesh of the above block.

Now, I import the cfx file into the setup of the cfx block.

I right click and update the mesh.

I start a run using my previous run's .res file as an initialization.

I get isolated fluid domains.

I discovered the reason - I am getting two meshes - one from the initial meshdat drag-drop and another from the cfx import.

Now, in the setup I cant delete the mesh I should (the one with the locations with a "2" in the front). So I delete, the other mesh (from the cfx file), but that throws all my interfaces domains off because they dont have a "2" in their locations.

How do I delete the second mesh from this whole import procedure?

How about reallocating the interfaces to the "2" locations if the whole mesh delete does not work as you intended?

Kinda dont want to do that. There are a LOT of interfaces...

That's what I suspected

And when using the "Edit in Command Editor" for your Interfaces?Maybe the renaming is a little easier?
