Importing Custom Geometry for Meshing in pyFluent with pyAnsys

      Hello,

      I am currently working on creating an overall workflow using the pyAnsys service.

      I have created the geometry using pyansys geometry. For meshing and solver, I intend to use pyfluent.

      However, I encountered an issue. In the pyAnsys geometry manual, I found the following statement:
      "You can import the exported PMDB file into Fluent to set up the mesh and perform the simulation. For an example of how to set up the mesh and boundary conditions in Fluent, see the Modeling External Compressible Flow example in the Fluent documentation."
      However, none of the pyfluent examples explain how to import a PMDB file stored on the local computer.
      All examples use:

      I want to perform meshing in pyfluent using the geometry I created, not the example geometry.

      Could you please provide a solution for this?
      I am currently using the Ansys Student License 24R1.

      Thank you and have a great day.

      I suspect the answer will be here   https://github.com/ansys   

      Can you check you can load a pmbd using the GUI, you won't be the first to not have all the readers working correctly!
