As an example there is a wall boundary condition &#8220;wall-xy&#8221; defined in the setup, but &#8220;wall-xy&#8221; does not appear in the list &#8220;Zones To Be Modified&#8221;.  This indicates that the corresponding post-processing surface has not been created. The current workaround is to define the surface from the zones with the operation     Setting up Domain > Surface > Create > Zone In the &#8220;Zone Surface&#8221; window then select the zone in the left panel and click on &#8220;Create&#8221;. Now the zone will also appear in the list of surfaces in this panel and also in the Design Tool.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-164956","topic","type-topic","status-publish","hentry","topic-tag-2019-r1","topic-tag-adjoint-solvers","topic-tag-fluent","topic-tag-fluent-flow-optimization","topic-tag-fluid-dynamics"],"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":["245"],"siebel_km_number":["2059199"],"product_version":["2019 R1"],"km_published_date":["2019-05-22T00:00:00.000Z"],"family":["Fluid Dynamics"],"application_name":["FLUENT"],"_edit_lock":["1704984830:2"]},"test":"articlesansys-com"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/knowledge\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/164956","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\/164956\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/knowledge\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=164956"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
