As you can see, the rear wing presents problems, and sometimes the geometry even disappears completely.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Can someone tell me how to fix the problem?&lt;br&gt;We were considering going back to the 2023 version, but we&rsquo;re not sure if that would help.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style=&#8221;font-size: 10pt;&#8221;&gt;<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/09\/16-09-2025-1758018936-spaceclaim.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/>&lt;\/span&gt;<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/09\/16-09-2025-1758018924-inventor.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/>&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&nbsp;&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Thank you in advice for your support&lt;\/p&gt;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-441518","topic","type-topic","status-publish","hentry","topic-tag-cad-import","topic-tag-fluent","topic-tag-spaceclaim"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_forum_id":["27789"],"_bbp_topic_id":["441518"],"_bbp_subscription":["283872","240"],"_bbp_author_ip":["193.205.210.74"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["441866"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["441866"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2025-09-21 12:57:02"],"_bbp_reply_count":["8"],"_bbp_reply_count_hidden":["0"],"_bbp_voice_count":["2"],"_bbp_engagement":["283872","240"],"_btv_view_count":["2780"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"]},"test":"fsae-unitngmail-com"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/441518","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\/441518\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=441518"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
