Fluent error "No face with given nodes"

December 6, 2008, 01:57

Hi all,

I have generated a mesh for a General Aviation airfoil in ICEM CFD Hexa,but while solving when I load the mesh in Fluent I get the error message:: " Building...

grid,WARNING: no face with given nodes. Thread 11, cell 1 Error: Build_Grid: grid error.

Clearing partially read grid.

shell conduction zones, Done. "

Can anybody help me in identifying the problem.

Did you ever find a solution to this problem? Or does anyone know what causes this issue? I'm having the same problem when trying to read my mesh into FLUENT.

Even if it comes too late for you guys, it might help somebody else in the future.

When this error is displayed, the location of the cell centre where the error occurs is shown. You can get back to your mesher and figure out where that is and try to remesh it. In my case, no inverted volume was reported but the zone, even if fully made of hex's, was complex enough to cause the error.

So I suggest : locate where the error occurs, and remesh that particular volume trying to simplify (or coarsen) the mesh around the point of conflict.

good luck

I kept getting this error on a 2d c-grid airfoil with 5 domains (2 in front of airfoil, 2 behind, and 1 for the blunt trailing edge). But then I merged all of the domains except for the blunt trailing edge domain (now total of 2 domains instead of 5) and it imported perfectly into Fluent. I was using Pointwise.
