17.3 Pointwise can NOT import CGNS mesh with Multiple nodes

Hi guys,
I've encountered a strange problem which keeps puzzling me for a week I exported a mesh with CGNS format in Numeca Autogrid and then imported it with Pointwise, but it failed! The error message is clear: 'File contains multiple base nodes'. I also looked it up in the User manual which told me pointwise could only load CGNS mesh with single base node. But this kind of mesh can be imported successfully with ICEM or CFX-Pre. To my surprise, the widely-accepted mesh generator Pointwise can not even support it! I'm wondering whether I set something correct or just need to modify some parameters to make pointwise work well with such kind of CGNS mesh. Does anybody have some suggestion or solution? (Although I can export the mesh in Autogrid with Plot3D format, it loses all the BC info which is critical to show the connection between multiple blocks. So that I have to export it with CGNS format) Many thanks. error.jpg |

You have encountered a known limitation in Pointwise's CGNS import. We already have a feature request in our system to address this situation.
However, for now, there is no workaround other than to split the single file into multiple files with a single base node per file. Multi node files are usually used to store time stepped grid and solutions. In general, each base node is supposed to represent a self-contained grid database. So when multiple nodes are present, which node should we load? Looking at the CGNS docs, it becomes clear that there is much variability in multi-basenode files. This variability is application dependent. Quote:
If you are willing to post a multi-basenode CGNS file, we can take a look at it and attach it to the feature request and use it for reference when adding this feature. |
