Good morning,

I just want to remind everyone that if you commonly use Parasolid files (eg as exported from UG, Solidworks or Solid Edge), you should try to use the new translation-free option for that file format.

On the Geometry | File Import page, click the Advanced button.
Turn on the "Read Parasolid files directly (no translation)" option.
Click OK.
Then when you read a Parasolid file, FloWizard will use the actual Parasolid kernel for the geometry operations. This offers improved robustness.

You can make this option the default in the Tools | Options panel.

Note that in order to use this feature, you need to get a "cad-parasolid" feature added to your license file. If you do not yet have this, contact your Fluent administrator for that feature (there is no charge for that).

André
