  3. I see a spurious, patch like contour when I do a casemap from the case to an STL geometry, which seems incorrect. The mesh is polyhexcore. How do I go about generating a contour of a particular variable on the STL surface using CaseMap?

      There could be many reasons. If you are using 2021 R2 and below versions, one workaround would be to create a plane ( considering the STL is a fairly planar surface) on the surface of the original case and then perform a casemap operation. There has been a bug fix regarding this in 2022 R1 version.
