Dear support,

I am trying to import a 2D geometry from CATIA to ANSYS FLUENT meshing but I cannot import into ANSYS the names of the edges, only the faces/surfaces. I've done the following steps

1. I've create a simple 2D cylinder in CATIA and named their edges using publications (I didn't use the extracts in the screen)
2. I've imported the CATPart into spaceclaim without issues
3. But when I import the spaceclaim file into Fluent meshing, the names disappear

Regarding the configurations I've followed the recommended steps that I could find on the web:

I have also followed the solutions provided in the following links but none of them helped me to import the edges names

I am using ANSYS Student 2025 R2 and CATIA V5-6 R2020 (B30) and I am unable to make ANSYS Fuent recognise the published edges, making it impossible to start meshing without having to rename everything again. I know that it is a simple case and I could rename everything easily in SpaceClaim but I don't want to go throught it every time if the CAD is extremely more complicated. Could someone provide assistance with this?

Thank you in advance!
