Hello all!

I'm trying to make an unstructured block by assembling the 6 domains that comprise it. The result is an empty block with 0 cells. Does anyone have any idea why this is happening?

Thank you.

That's the first step. The second step is to initialize the block. Select the block and click the Initialize button on the toolbar or go to the Grid > Solve ... menu and click Initialize there.

Ah, thank you so much Chris! It was simplicity itself but I hadn't understood that point! Thank you!
