We have an exciting announcement about badges coming in May 2025. Until then, we will temporarily stop issuing new badges for course completions and certifications. However, all completions will be recorded and fulfilled after May 2025.

As I said I have some results from StarCCM+ . This is in french but we have absolute pressure in the inlet 1 and outlet 1 and the pressure loss. When I run my simulation with  a similar mesh in Discovery I have these results in Refine Mode.

In Explore Mode(maximum fidelity) the results are much closer to StarCCM+ (Pressure loss, Max speed, Max temp., Mean total pressure Inlet (1) and Outlet (2)).

The difference in percent of the pressure loss in kinda big even when I apply local refinement in the criticals areas. The question is why because Refine Mode should be more accurate. If possible can you explain how the explore mode works with these voxel (this is new for me) .

Thanks in advance
