[ANSYS Meshing] Unsupported topology FENSAP

zhandos_baizhuma · February 18, 2020, 05:16

Dear all, I am trying to simulate VAWT icing using FENSAP-ICE. I have created mesh using Pointwise. it has two domains: farfield and rotating. Also there are interface zone between them.
In fluent it works well both MRF and Sliding mesh. But when I comes to FENSAP I am not able to set blade walls as rotating walls. "Unsupported topology" message appears. Pls can you share if you have any idea?

You can find my case file below

It looks like this message has been posted in the wrong forum. This is ansys meshing, not fensap.

There is no special FENSAP forum as I see.

Fensap is a component of fluent and my problem is related with mesh, thus I posted it here

Hi.

I was wondering if you found a solution to this. I have been having the exact same issue and I haven't been able to figure out how to have my turbine rotating. I am trying to simulate icing on a VAWT (Savonius) as well.

Any help is much appreciated.
