Rules for Interactive Editing

The final mesh must pass Ansys Workbench shape and topology checks in order for the mesh to be returned to Ansys Workbench. This requirement imposes the following rules and guidelines for editing in Ansys ICEM CFD:

  • Do not modify the geometry.

  • Pay attention to face and volume part naming. Use the same naming conventions and do not adjust the part naming.

  • Pay attention to mesh quality. If the mesh quality becomes degraded, the mesh will not be returned to Ansys Workbench unless Check Mesh Quality is set to No.

  • The final mesh must pass Ansys Workbench shape and topology checks in order for the mesh to be returned to Ansys Workbench without a warning or error message.

  • Follow file naming conventions for proper archiving and batch interaction. Retain the default names. Changing the names will break the association between the Replay file and the Ansys Workbench project.
