VT_Bromley is on a distinguished road
I have gone through all of the tutorials and believe that I'm following the correct process, however I'm still having issues.

1. I define points and connect them using lines making sure to separate them into parts. The picture attached shows the geometry. All the red lines are under th part name "wall", the blue line under the part name "inlet", the green line under the part name "outlet", and finally the yellow line under "interior wall".



2. I then create two surfaces. The lower box is a solid while the upper portion is initially air. I create the surfaces by selecting the curves and keep the part names separate. The pink surface under the part name "solid" and the blue surface under the part name "air".



3. Then I block using 2D surface blocking and select my two surfaces. I use inherit part names this time. Then I pre mesh it and it is shown below.



4. Finally I convert the premesh to an unstructured mesh and I get the result shown. It has combined my outlet and inlet into walls.



When I import the mesh into FLUENT there is no designation between where my outlet was and the wall. What causes my part names to disappear and become walls? Is this the correct process?

Thanks,
Michael
