Follow these steps to improve the behavior: 1) open the Workbench project 2) create a new separate CFX component system 3) open the newly created CFX-Pre (this is empty) 4) in CFX-Pre select       Edit > Options and expand the tree structure on the left to Mesh > Mesh Import Options and select ANSYS Meshing. On the right change the Contact Detection option to &#8220;Read as Regions&#8221; 5) exit CFX-Pre 6) create the connection of ANSYS Meshing to CFX-Pre (drag the line from meshing to CFX-Pre). Update the Mesh cell, if necessary 7) open CFX-Pre  CFX-Pre will now remake the connection information when it imports the mesh.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-164530","topic","type-topic","status-publish","hentry","topic-tag-2019-r3","topic-tag-cfx","topic-tag-fluid-dynamics","topic-tag-general","topic-tag-general-cfx"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_wp_page_template":["default"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["3-15-2023  20:20:37"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27796"],"_bbp_author_ip":["23.56.168.180"],"_btv_view_count":["1141"],"siebel_km_number":["2060165"],"product_version":["2019 R3"],"km_published_date":["2019-07-24T00:00:00.000Z"],"family":["Fluid Dynamics"],"application_name":["CFX"]},"test":"articlesansys-com"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/knowledge\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/164530","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/knowledge\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/knowledge\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/knowledge\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/164530\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/knowledge\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=164530"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
