Hello everyone. 

Recently I have tried to recreate a validation problem

However, I didn't find how can I apply some simulation settings and where to apply these settings in hypermesh acusolve, specifically the individuals periodic Bcs and nodes. How can I simulate those settings using hypermesh acusolve?

also, I did this mesh with these components:

    I encourage you to try the new HyperWorks CFD product - in the newly released 2021.1 version.  This will make your CFD setup so much easier.  It also supports periodics (but you may need to do some final manual-editing of the .inp file as not everything is 100% supported yet in the GUI).  You'll need the hwDesktop2021.1 and hwCFDSolvers2021.1 packages.
