Hi everyone,

I have limited experience with ICEM, and I am trying to do something that I thought was not too ambitious but after hours of looking online and trying things, I don't know if it can be done at all.

I have a ".msh" file from a Fluent tutorial, and I just need to modify it slightly to check something else (sort of developing what the tutorial covers).

I open the mesh file in ICEM (by File>Import Mesh>From Fluent). I then use the Edit Mesh tools as needed. No problems there.

The next step is where I get stuck. I cannot find a way to save it as a .msh file. I have read that you normally right-click on pre-mesh, convert to unstructured (or alternatively File>Mesh>Load from blocking) and then go to the output tab, select Fluent in the first tab, and then go to the 4th tab to save it as .msh.

Because I have imported it from the original .msh file, if I try to click "Load from blocking", it gives me the message "no blocking loaded". I do not have a pre-mesh in the tree view either. All it shows is a green tick on Parts and a grey tick on Mesh. Inside mesh there is a green tick on Subsets, no tick on Lines, and a green tick on Shells (and further inside Shells, there is a green tick on Quads).

Is there any way to obtain a .msh from my modified .msh? Am I missing any steps?

Many many thanks,

K
