I am relatively new to ANSYS Fluent and I&#8217;ve encountered an error message that has left me a bit puzzled. I&#8217;m reaching out here seeking guidance and insight into this issue, as it seems to be related to both sliding interfaces and moving reference frames.<\/p>\n<p>During my simulation in Fluent, a message appeared in the console window stating: &#8220;Cannot Create Surface from sliding interface zone, Create empty surface.&#8221; As a newcomer to this problem, I&#8217;m eager to understand what this error message indicates and how it can be resolved.<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, I came across a similar issue in one of the Ansys innovation course PDFs, but there&#8217;s a slight difference. The problem in the PDF arose while performing the sliding mesh operation, whereas in my case, I am utilizing a moving reference frame. Could this be a factor contributing to the error?<\/p>\n<p>I would greatly appreciate any insights or experiences you can share regarding this error message. Has anyone else encountered it while working with a moving reference frame, or could you provide suggestions on troubleshooting steps to resolve this issue?<\/p>\n<p>Your expertise and assistance would be invaluable as I work to navigate and overcome this challenge. Thank you for taking the time to read my post, and I&#8217;m looking forward to learning from your experiences.<\/p>\n<p>Best regards,<\/p>\n<p>Paul Stephen<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-303464","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry","topic-tag-ansys-fluent-solver-2","topic-tag-ansysfluent","topic-tag-ansysworkbench","topic-tag-boundary-conditions","topic-tag-cfd-fluent","topic-tag-moving-reference-frame-2","topic-tag-mrf","topic-tag-sliding-mesh"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_subscription":["288217","13659"],"_bbp_author_ip":["23.52.43.81"]," _bbp_last_reply_id":["0"]," _bbp_likes_count":["0"],"_btv_view_count":["1028"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_status":["publish"],"_bbp_topic_id":["303464"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27792"],"_bbp_engagement":["13659","288217"],"_bbp_voice_count":["2"],"_bbp_reply_count":["3"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["306383"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["306383"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2023-09-12 14:17:00"]},"test":"paulstephen20118gmail-com"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/303464","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/303464\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=303464"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
