  3. I have a CGNS file that has boundary patch information (part families). These are ignored on import to ICEM v 19.0, however. The same file can be read into CFX Pre, and the part families show up there perfectly. I need to get the mesh into ICEM so I can make changes. Is there a workaround for this?

      ICEM currently cannot import CGNS boundary patch information. It can import boundary patches from CFX .def files, however. To get the CGNS patch information into ICEM, you can continue on in CFX Pre. and make the required boundary condition assignments. Name the boundary conditions as you would want the families to appear in ICEM. Then, write out the .def file and import to ICEM via File > Import Mesh > From CFX. Make sure to leave the default selection of “Set Face Parts from: BC Patches on.
