Hi

If I got a cube as a geometry and I created a block, is association a compulsory step for this geometry?

I think we only need to edit the edge parameters, right?

Thanks for your explanation

Hi Ke Wu,

If you want avoid problems when you read your mesh in a solver, you should associate edge to curve.

bluebase will become famous soon enough
By associating edges boundary elements (e.g. line and quadrilateral elements) will be created while premeshing. Most solver probably need seperate sets of boundary elements.

I think that for a 3d block geometry the association of the corner points with the vertices might be enough, too.

Actually I didn't do association and just edited edge parameters, then premesh

I checked the mesh in Fluent, no error turned up
