[ICEM] Delete mesh and volumes (ICEM CFD 19.2)

VentinS · May 7, 2019, 06:50

Hello everyone,

I guess it's a dumb question, but:
How do I delete mesh parts and volumes?
Delete Elements does not work and just hitting delete, well the volumes are still there.

Some help will be very appreciated

Geometry and mesh can be treated as separate objects in ICEM. In menu File, you can keep the geometry and remove or load a mesh. This helps you:

In 1) Menu File, go to 2) Mesh and then to 3) Save Only Some Mesh as.....
There select only the parts that you want to keep and save those parts as unique .uns-file.
Then keep the geometry but close the current mesh (same menu) and open this unique .uns-file (same menu). Then you have what you want.
