Parametric Mesh with ICEM and Workbench fails to update
 
Hi,

I'm currently trying to do a CFX-Simulation with Workbench using an ICEM generated mesh with a parametric mesh size. However, when updating the design points, the new mesh is not transferred to the CFX Setup.

In Workbench, I setup a CFX system containing the setup and connected an ICEM CFD cell to provide the mesh. In ICEM, I set the 'Global Mesh Size: Scale Factor' as a parameter. In the parameter variation, I defined multiple design points with different values for the Scale Factor. When I manually change the current parameter value and then update the mesh and setup cells, the change is effective and generates a larger or smaller mesh that is propagated to the CFX setup.

However, when updating the design points via "Update All Design Points" or via the context menu of the Parameter Set, the mesh change is not propagated to the setup. When exporting the DPs I can see that the file size of the mesh files is different for each parameter, so the mesh is generated properly. The '.cfx' and '.def' files however do not change.

Does anyone know a possible solution?
