Surface points

ATOTA · July 21, 2010, 13:17

Hi,
I can't create any surface points in my domain. I tried everywhere and it won't work. What should I do ??

Plz help.
Thanks !!

I thought you got it all taken care of here. What specifically is the problem?

That was the problem of inputting them with less time.
Now, I could input them easily but fluent won't accept the points.
It says "surface creation failed ocject #F"
For one case, only a few poitns were refused but for another one, fluent won't accept any of the points. The coordinates are right because they worked fine in Workbench.

Any suggestions ??

It seems like this error occurs when you attempt to create a point that is outside of the solution domain. Have you made sure that the units of coordinates of the point match those of the solution?

Thanks !
it seems like I had several problems. First, my units were in mm and FLuent was set in m. Another thing was that I had to shift the points about 0.1mm from the actual place to not interfere with the boundary...

Thnaks again :-)
