setup fluent: error convert to polyhedra

frafole · February 11, 2015, 07:35

Hi eveyone,
when I load my mesh in fluent setup a warning occurred:

Following mesh operation failed:
convert to polyhedra.

Please ensure that your current setup is valid.

Model information is incompatible with incoming mesh.

I've just checked if the named selections were set allright and that's it, so I don't know I to solve it.
Does anyone have some suggestion for me?
Thank you.

Did you change anything in the mesh while checking the named selections, and save the project after that? FLUENT can be quite a ***** when you did so; you can try reloading the mesh, alternatively, go back to the workbench, remove your FLUENT block, and re-hook FLUENT so that it immediatly loads the newest version of the mesh. Typically, this error means FLUENT is expecting a certain mesh that you initially supplied, but because you made changes since, it runs into trouble.
