Mesh Reuse

By default, mesh is created for all objects in the model each time it is generated. Using a Mesh Operation, you can reuse mesh for specific objects or shapes if a mesh has been generated for them previously in a different project. The supported mesh file types are the Icepak grid_output file or a Fluent .msh file.

Note: When an object has mesh reuse assigned, Icepak may not display its surface mesh in the 3D Modeler window.

Note: Mesh reuse is not supported in the following scenarios:

for lightweight CAD objects
when running optimetric parametric trials
