Loading the geometry in Ansys Meshing is so Time-Consuming

sasanghomi · February 23, 2019, 23:42

Dear all,

I am dealing with a geometry which includes a huge number of bodies. It is more than 2 days that I am waiting for Ansys Meshing to open the geometry.
My question is that how I can speed up this process. Does share topology can open any doors here? Any ideas?

Best Regards

Wow, you are very patient. Are you using the latest version of ANSYS (2019R1)? If you are using the latest version then it could be worthwhile reporting this as a feature request/bug report. If you are using an older version then don't bother, upgrade to the current version and try again.

I am not not sure what could be done to speed this up. Certainly try the things you suggest. Also, I do all my complex and large meshing in ICEM as it handles complex stuff much better than ANSYS Mesh. So ICEM could be another thing to try - but be aware that ICEM is very different and will require some effort to learn.
