[ICEM] Modular meshing/ BOI

Adithya_11 · May 27, 2021, 10:14

I don't know what this feature is called in ICEM or if this is possible.
I have an aircraft that I have in a control volume. I want to rotate the aircraft geometry. Instead of remeshing the entire domain, it is more efficient to create a 'body of influence' or 'modular block' around it and just replace the geometry within it.

Is this possible? If so, what is the feature called?

Thank you

What do you want to do with it; did you want to rotate the mesh during the simulation?

Also, this was the wrong forum for this question, you should have posted this in ANSYS - Meshing.
