I have tried resaving folders, or doing the setup again froms scratch. Is it a mesh issue?&nbsp;&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I exported Ansys workbench mesh as .k file, then opened in prepost to run. It was working fine, then i made a mesh refinement and did the same thing, now regardless what i do, when i open the post, the plots look like this. As if the index of the mesh cells got messed up or something. I have plotted graphs of energy etc, so my simulation is definitely not blowing up to cause this.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;ALE axisymmetric no Lagrange bodies.&lt;br&gt;Does anyone know what is going on? Any help would be appreciated!&lt;\/p&gt;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-452426","topic","type-topic","status-answered","hentry","topic-tag-ale"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_forum_id":["27814"],"_bbp_topic_id":["452426"],"_bbp_author_ip":["131.151.41.49"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["452608"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["452608"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2026-02-13 06:17:22"],"_bbp_reply_count":["9"],"_bbp_reply_count_hidden":["0"],"_bbp_voice_count":["2"],"_bbp_engagement":["602335","13640"],"_btv_view_count":["146"],"_bbp_topic_status":["answered"],"_bbp_subscription":["13640","602335"]},"test":"gl6fpumsystem-edu"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/452426","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":1,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/452426\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":452609,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/452426\/revisions\/452609"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=452426"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
