  I am trying to view the results for a simulation of a coiled heat exchanger. The simulation successfully ran but when I try and open the results in CFD-Post, I receive the following error.
  "CFD-Post Application Error
  
  ERROR
  Failed to make geometry for domain 'Default Domain'"
  
  I can't seem to find any relevant information online so any help would be appreciated.

  Which solver did you run the model with?

  OK, one for I suspect. Did the solve complete without any errors?

  The solve did complete without any errors. It was not until I attempted to generate results that I go the error. I did figure out a fix for the issue though. There are two coils in the heat exchanger that are isolated from each other, but I had considered the fluid in each as one domain. Once I went and separated them into two different fluid domains, the issue went away.

  Good idea aad actually the best to consider both as separate domains.
  Regarding the error you saw in CFD-Post: which version are you using?
