The process was the following:<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<ul><\/p>\n<li>It was designed in Catia V5<\/li>\n<p><\/p>\n<li>Then imported to Spaceclaim 19.2 to clean it up and create the domain<\/li>\n<p><\/p>\n<li>Finally, using &#8220;file&gt;import&gt;CAD&#8221;, the &#8220;.sdoc&#8221; from spaceclaim was imported to Fluent Meshing 19.2<\/li>\n<p>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>The geometry imported from Catia to Spaceclaim was perfectly similar, but when imported to Fluent it suffers a severe deformation.
