The step after defining the unit cell model in multiscale designer

I am using multiscale designer version 2019.2.0.

After defining the unit cell, I proceeded with the analysis, but I cannot proceed to the next step.

I cannot find the mesh file, and a warning pops up saying to conduct the analysis first.

Questions:

  1. Isn't the macro mesh file generated?
  2. Do I need to model the unit cell directly?

    Hi Sanghyun Ji,

    Please save and run the setup to visualize the mesh details including nodes and elements. The GUI will guide you to the further steps.

    Can you please rerun with the latest version available to you? Or Please share the .mic file so I can check if the analysis runs at my end.
