      If the filename of a result-file loaded for case comparison into CFD-Post is extremely long, then it can happen that a CEL expression results in an error about an “unrecognized name” for a region and cannot be evaluated. To fix this it is best to change the case name during loading of the result file. This is done by selecting the option “Edit case name” when loading a result file. Apply a short name. Additional advantage is, that all expressions are much shorter and easier to type. Furthermore this simplifies automation of case comparison, as the CFD-Post state-file can be applied for arbitrary filenames immediately.
