Pointwise

T-rex

* Could not create a block with the selected faces. The last face will be removed

this message indicates a problem with the structured grid's topology. Most often the cause is one of these:

1)the reason is  *coincident connectors* on the edges of adjacent faces. Use the "Grid/Merge" command to resolve this.
   + set a tolerance smaller than min spacing  and Pointwise will find adjacent connectors and nodes that lie within this specified tolerance.
Once highlighted, you can opt to merge them. Alternatively, you can simply replace one with the other by selecting the first, and then the second entity.

2) The faces do not form a computationally I*J*K block. Check the number of nodes on edges.

reversed flow (backflow)

‎ Table of Contents 1. Reverse flow    reversed_flow 1.1. reasons 1.2. solutions 1 Reverse flow    reversed_flow It is common to encounter the regions of reversed flow at the initial stages of the simulation – This is normal. However, if the “reversed flow” warnings do not disappear as the simulation progresses, then one needs to address the issue and move the outlet boundaries to a location where the inflow is no longer encountered. Normally, it has to do with the outlet boundary condition. if you were to use the "pressure outlet" boundary condition at the outlet, your outlet must be set far away from the object of interest. In Fluent, I normally use the " outflow" boundary condition at the outlet and it does not give me reverse flow. 1.1 reasons It is virtually impossible to prescribe correct values for varying turbulence characteristics, temperature and species concentrations i...
