Hi,

I'm working on ANSYS CFX with imported CGNS files created by Pointwise.
Recently, I've upgraded Pointwise to version 17.2R2. When trying to import CGNS files into CFX-Pre, I've received the following error messege:

"Unable to import mesh: can't open XXXXX for reading. Reason: array size exceeds that for a 32-bit integer."

I suspect this is connected to a new feature from V17.2R1 - CAE export format upgrades to CGNS v3.1.4.

What are my options?

Thanks.

My first suggestion would be to switch your solver to Ansys CFX (menu CAE/Select Solver...) and then export using menu File/Export/CAE....

If that won't work for you, we can discuss other options.

the same problem as mentioned in the thread just occurred when I tried to import a *.cgns file to Ansys CFX. The solver setting is set to Ansys CFX.
Looking forward to other suggestions regarding the problem?

Make sure you have both the CAE Solver in Pointwise set to ANSYS CFX and that you're using the CAE... option from the Export sub-menu of the File menu. The grid files that Pointwise outputs will be in CFX's native grid format, and you should not have CGNS files.
