Size controls based on edges cannot be used in a Size Control File?

    • Gregory Harrington

      I imported my geometry to use in the watertight workflow.

      I added a proximity local sizing scoped to edges on a particular part surface.

      No matter what surface I pick, I always receive the warning "Note that size controls based on edges cannot be used in a Size Control File"

      I am not sure what a size control file is or how I can fix this seeing as how I havent done anything other than import geometry and try to add a proximity refinement.

      Hello Gregory,

      you can ignore this warning as it should not have any impact on your mesh. The warning is exactly what it says: edge sizing controls cannot be used in a Size Control File, which is not your case.

      A Size Control File in Fluent Meshing is a set of instructions that guide the meshing algorithm on how to apply specific mesh sizes to certain parts of the geometry or localized regions.

      Ok thanks for the clarification! I assumed it was going to cause my edge scoping to not work as intended.
