Hi,

I am trying to conduct a parametric study of different angle of attacks for a 2-D airfoil using Fluent. I set the input parameter as angle of attack (AoA). Using this parameter, I setup the flow direction for the freestream.  I setup reports for the force along the x and y directions, and set it as output parameters. I setup different values for the Design Points (AoA) in WorkBench.

If I select design points individually and select "Update selected design points", it runs fine and updates everything.  If I select the entire set of design points, and select "Update selected design points", it updates the first design point, and it hangs for the second one.

I turned on "Show solution monitoring" for Fluent from WB, selected all design points, and tried to update the solution.  Solution monitoring showed everything worked fine for the first desgn point.  For the second one, Fluent completed the run.  But, it is giving an error message "Error: Communication with WB failed due to wrong XML format" when it tries to update the data in WB, and it hangs there.  How do I fix this issue? 

I am using Ansys Version 2019R3.

Thank you.

I have updated Ansys installation to 2020 R1. But, I am still getting the same error message. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

Thanks

Hello, 

A suggestion... Can you please right click on " Parameter Set" and choose properties. In the properties tab, under "Retained Design Point", choose the option "Update full project". Please let us know if this worked.

That worked.

Thank you very much.
