[ICEM] Tagging Faces of block or converting faces of block into surface

AshwaniAssam · October 19, 2013, 10:04

Dear all,

Is it possible to tag the faces of the blocks which are lying on the boundaries. Or, is it possible to convert the faces of the block into surfaces.
So, that using create part I can name them.

I need to read the mesh file zone wise. And my zones will be the blocks created.

Please if any one can help.

It feels that in earlier version of ANSYS there was some bug while writing cgns file. In ANSYS14 ICEMCFD, I am able to have a single defined surface facing two or more block faces. My code reads the cgns file properly.

But still, I have problem in having a proper interface tagging. My code is showing only 3 boundaries for some zone for the 3d cylinder meshing. I am using the 2d-3d extruding mesh tutorial shown on Youtube.
