  I need to convert the solids to fluids in Discovery. I'm not able to find that option in GUI.

  Hello Moulali Shaik
  
  I am not sure if I understand what you are trying to do. Do you want to change the material assignment for fluid from air to some other material?

  transparent bodies are fluids and opaque bodies are solids. Now I want to change those solids to fluids.

  Hello Moulali Shaik
  
  You can double click on the material, and select all the parts that need to be defined that material with box select or ctrl hold and select. Please go through the tutorials if you face any issues with this.

  Hi Charudatta Bandgar , I have watched the tutorials and cleared many of my doubts. Main issues i faced are because of using discovery 2019. Changing material, giving pourous media boundary conditions etc., are the issues faced in older version. But using 21R1 Discovery version has many beneficial options compared to 2019R3 Discovery version.

    Moulali Shaik Hey,
    
    Yes definitely. There have many additional features in 2021R1, and that will further be improved with subsequent releases. You can find what's new in Discovery 2022R2.

  Charudatta Bandgar , Also i want to mention here one query. Why Discovery (even 21R1 version) application ended up crashing most of the times?

    Moulali Shaik Hello
    
    I am not sure, but it could be possible that it had bugs that must have been resolved in the subsequent version. I would still suggest you upgrade the graphic card drivers from the manufacturers' website to rule out that possibility.
    
    Does it give you any error when it crashes? If the crash is anything specific, there could be a solution to that.
