lost attributes while re opening the flow simulation results

Bhargav Kumar Govindu Jul 31, 2014 4:59 AM

when i try to reopen my past results, i get the following message :"This plot refers to the features which do not exist anymore or have lost their attributes. PLease select them again " (in the image)

initially, after loading the flow simulation addin, when i open the model, i get the red 'X' mark on the boundary conditions. these gets cleared as the results files were loaded into the simulation and still, i'm not been able to view the results. also, the face selected in defining the boundary conditions were lost. why does this happens and how to solve this....please enlighten me on this problem..

sounds like your model changed after you ran the analysis
therefore those faces no longer exist or were rebuild and designators reassigned in solidworks
or you have a model with some issues that cause the above type problems

make sure you're managing your configurations well, that your assembly is clean or work with separate assemblies if you continue having trouble.

if you want to check the software, setup a simple pipeflow problem and see if the problem reproduces itself.

  i just had hidden the lids and changed the transparency of boundary surrounding my model to view the results and saved it. when i re open the model for another study, i get the message as above. does that makes any difference.

    hidden or suppressed?
    
    how were the lids created?
    
    how are you hiding or applying transparency?

      Lids were created in the top assembly and after plotting the trajectory results, In the model tab, initially I had changed the transparency and for better visibility, choose to hide them. I didn't suppress any thing.

        then most likely you have some other assembly/geometry problem that is causing things to get disconnected. ie if a rebuild happens, what you describe can happen. this is usually due to circular references..etc
