Hi everyone,

I have a hybrid mesh for an engine in ICEM . I need to extract some internal faces around the valves in the volume mesh and export those as .STL . I need the internal faces to create faceSets and cellsets later in OpenFOAM.

I have been trying in vain to do this using create subsets in ICEM, but I couldnt find a way to do it.

Hence I am planning to read my mesh in PointWise and see if I can get the job done in PointWise. My first question is:

I just want to know if it is possible in PointWise to extract internal faces in the mesh?
Also , how can I read the mesh in PointWise (I tried to export my mesh in CGNS and read the grid it in PointWise, but I am getting error - Cannot open File.)
If anyone has experience, I would be really grateful if you share your thoughts.

Thank you in advance !
