I have a one-cell thick extruded (rotated) mesh but I get this error when trying to run the PUMA 2.5D Adaption. My mesh is one layer of prismatic cells, and both front and back faces are type symmetry. I only have one cell zone. Why is this happening? How do I overcome this?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Adaption is not permitted for the current mesh ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Reason:

- Selected adaption mode: PUMA (2.5D)

is inappropriate for the current mesh

- The PUMA (2.5D) method requires the following:

~ The mesh must be created with one layer of

prismatic cells, and the front / back face

zones must be of type symmetry

~ If multiple cell zones are present, each

cell zone must have a separate front / back

set of symmetry face zones

Hi,

I suggest you to please check fluent theory guide: Chapter 25: Adapting the Mesh (ansys.com)

Hope you found this useful

Thanks

What exactly am I looking for? I'm well versed with the concept of PUMA adaption and I can do 3D, no issues. I don't want 3D. I want 2.5D to work.
