duplicate and mixed element types
Altair EmployeeHi!
I want to export a heatsink mesh file into fluent. According to the below pictures, a volume of fluid passes through a heatsink using a suction fan located inside the elbow duct.
The mesh was produced using automesh and solid map (line drag) for solid and fluid parts. Boundary conditions were defined as figs 1,2 and 3 shows. As figs 4 and 5 show, while I was exporting the final model to fluent, the error says that there is duplicate and mixed element types in my model. What can I do to fix this error and export my model successfully in the fluent?
looking forward to receive your kind help /emoticons/default_smile.png' srcset='/emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x' title=':)' width='20' />

Just delete 'duplicated elements', right?
Tool => check elems => duplicates => save failed
F2 => elems => retrieve => delete entity

Hello,
Duplicate elements can be found from 'Tools>>check elems'. There depending on 2D or 3D check for duplicates.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
Then click on save failed. Go to delete element (F2) and press on element and select retrieve and then delete these elements.
For mixed elements please check again that you have assigned the correct property to the respective elements i.e. PSOLID to solid elements and PSHELL to shell elements.
Thankyou

Hi!
Dear Q.Nguyen-Dai and Sanjay Nainani
thanks for your help. When I click on duplicates>save failed>F2 , Hypermesh deletes the whole model, not the highlited elements.
Furthermore, I need a more detailed solution for fixing mixed elements.
Thank you again

In the F2 panel you need to click on element and select 'Retrieve' and then delete the elements. Please refer the below picture:

Can you give me more details about the mixed elements issue.
Thankyou

After I tried to export my model to fluent, it showed some errors like the following pictures. Please see the error report too.

I think you have to split your mesh into different components. Have a look at my example:
Here's the message for CFD Meshing:
