When I open this in ANSYS meshing the program crashes regardless of the computer I use (before any meshing is done) and scaling the geometry down solves the problem. I suspect it is a problem with ANSYS Meshing as colleagues have made similar sized meshes in ICEM before.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>I need to conduct my analysis on the full scale model but would like to still use ANSYS Meshing. I notice in Fluent there is the scale function so my question is, can I scale the geometry down by 10%, mesh the smaller geometry then in Fluent scale things up by a factor of 10?<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>I tried running basic simulations on two different size models using this technique and got different solutions however I am not sure if that is for another reason because I am still relatively new to ANSYS.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Thanks in advance.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-40296","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_old_topic_id":["12476"],"_bbp_old_topic_author_name_id":["Anonymous"],"_bbp_old_is_topic_anonymous_id":["false"],"_bbp_old_closed_status_id":["publish"],"_bbp_author_ip":[null],"_bbp_old_sticky_status_id":["normal"],"_bbp_likes_count":["0"],"_btv_view_count":["7526"],"_bbp_subscription":["246712","161012"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_status":["publish"],"_bbp_topic_id":["40296"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27790"],"_bbp_engagement":["199","161012","172423"],"_bbp_voice_count":["3"],"_bbp_reply_count":["8"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["239570"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["239570"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2022-11-03 11:05:33"]},"test":"morganj32"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/40296","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\/40296\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=40296"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
