Hello, 

I am trying to analyze an airfoil as 2D. Meshing process was completed well. Then I made name selection for boundary inlet and airfoil wall. But when I go to the setup part, I could not see airfoil wall and boundary inlet on boundary conditons. Could you please help me?

Which solver are you using? 

[AsliAla]

I am using Fluid Flow (Fluent)

[Rob]

OK, they should transfer then. If you click on the named selected in Meshing have you got "transfer to solver" (or whatever it's called) set to yes?  

[AsliAla]

I got the message that said "The mesh translation to Fluent was successful. "

[Rob]

That means the mesh is OK for Fluent. What surface labels have you got in Fluent?

[Keyur Kanade]

When you create named selection, please avoid to use spaces in the names. 

As Rob has already pointed out, please click on NS. Then check in its details - 'transfer to solver' is set to yes. 

In Fluent you would be able to see them in Set up - Boundary conditions.

I put name selection on geometry section and my problem solved. Thank you for all your answers.

May I ask what do you mean by putting the name selection on the geometry section? I am facing a similar issue, in which I can't find my boundary conditions in my setup despite having created the name selections. I am also using FLUENT, and my settings for the name selections are exactly the same as yours in the photo attachment.

I open Design modeler, and select the surface or line that I want to named. Right click and in the menu there is name selection. After that, you should say generate.
