I am running a mesh independence study using DesignXplorer. My schematic includes ICEM CFD -> Fluent -> CFD-POST.I have created a parameters table in Workbench with different mesh sizes. I have set a constant maximum global mesh size in ICEM CFD. I have created a set of different values for scale factor in the parameters table. However, for some reason, I get a number of different errors only for some design points, where other design points run smoothly, and produce results without any errors.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

First error:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

ANSYS workbench error Exception of type ‘Ansys.Fluent.Cortex.CortexNotAvailableException’ was thrown<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Second error:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Ansys.Fluent.Cortex.CortexCommandFailedException: An error occured in FLUENT while applying case and settings informatins.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I dug deeper and realised that there is a problem with meshing for the design point that results in the first error: When I open ICEM CFD separately for this design point and compute mesh, I get an error that says there is a hole in the geometry. This is odd because other design points do not show this problem. Also when I ask ICEM to fix it, it asks me to select edges and I have no idea what edges to select as the mesh is already displaying and it looks fine. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

As for the second error, the mesh generation is errorless so I am not sure what the problem is.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I would appreciate some insight on this matter. I very much like the DesignXplorer however it is causing me a lot of trouble and I would like to solve this issue.<\/p>\n
