Importing .cgns file to fidelity Turbo

cfd enthusiast
cfd enthusiast over 1 year ago

Hello Everyone,

I have been trying to import a mesh I made in CFX to fidelity using a .cgns format. I usually just click on the "import geometry, mesh or FINE Open Project" button above the CAD Tree > choose the .cgns file > Import mode (import mesh). The first warning I get is "The following cgns files c:\Users.... .cgns, are of type ADF. This file type is not supported since Fidelity 2022.1. Do you want to convert to HDF5?" then i click on yes. I then repeat the process, but with the newly created .cgns file, which leads to the following erros when I try importing it again:

Warning : Inconsistencies found in imported mesh. Please, check the log file of the import mesh for more information.<br>

Import FINE project: R_C001_.cgns: NIImportFineOpenProject::updateTreeDo() no geometry container

Importing the .igg file format of the same project works fine, however I get the follwing information: 

 <br> Mesh Setup 1 with volume mesh has been imported. <br> Imported project contains the volume mesh available for viewing, although Mesh Setup settings are kept as Fidelity default values.

I have been also experiencing troubles importing meshes in .cgns formats that I made in fidelity previously. This all leads me to believe, that I'm doing something fundamentaly wrong while importing meshes.

Any Help would be much appreaciated. 

Thank you!

    Hi, 

    Could you successfully import CGNS files based on the documentation extract of the earlier reply?
    Maybe your CGNS file was of a more recent version than the one supported in Fidelity?

    For the import of meshes that you previously created in Fidelity, it would be helpful to have more info of the steps you performed:

    • Which version of Fidelity did you use?
    • Which steps did you perform to create and save the mesh?
    • Which steps did you perform to import the mesh?

    Best regards,
    Colinda
