How can I export a surface from ANSYS Mechanical to CFD Post? My imported surface is not showing up in CFD Post. What might the problem be?

      When CFD-Post imports a CDB file, only the SURF elements will appear. If the element type is SURF and the surface still does not show, other things to check are the scale and location of the model. You can do this by hiding all the items in the tree on the left, leaving only the imported surface as visible Then, refit the view. If the surface appears, the scale may differ largely from that of the model, or the surface may be translated far from the origin. Note that neither the scale nor location of the imported surface can be changed from CFD Post; changes must be made from ANSYS.
