Hi experts,

 

Why do you think I have different colors for the mesh? I basically extruded the surface mesh.

    Done with all of them. Nothing helps.

    It looks like sometimes the color/visualization doesn't properly synch with the proper parts after the extrusion process.  Try right-click 'Model' in the Part Browser, and Fix Database.  Does that make any difference?

    I also notice all three parts in the tree are assigned the same gray color.  You may also try assigning a different color to the different parts.

    It could be a random color assignment issue. 

    Could you try two things. 

     - Hide all parts/solids and display them again. This will reset colors. 

    - if that does not help, try to close all HW / HWCFD session and open the .hm again. 

    If it persists, please let us know or upload the .hm file.

    Fix database does not help at all.

    After Fix Database - try changing the way the model is colored - using the Model Color icon at the bottom of the window
