Smart Fluids – Imported vs Existing Body Conditions

  Hi,
  
  When I attach conditions (e.g. temp) to a body that was in existence when the solution was first generated and I move that body from point A to B the conditions continue to exist at point A. When the same body is imported, after the initial solution is generated, and moved to from A to B the conditions attached to that body move.
  
  Is this behavior expected?
  
  Thank you in advance

  Hello cos1997 I was unable to reproduce the issue you mentioned. Upon moving the body (assigned temperature = 40 deg) to new location, the temperature results were updated based on new position. Refer below snapshots which shows the temperature results at 2 positions. Was the fluid volume created within Discovery Live or it was imported along with the solid? Can you send a test case for further investigation?

  Hi Naresh Patre Yes the fluid volume was created in Discovery Live. Please find the attached case, the body of interest to move is named "STOVE".

    cos1997 I am unable to open the full model as it is looking for one file named "v2.2.scdoc". Can you please upload this file as well?

  Apologies, see file attached. Does discovery have an archive function similar to that of workbench?

    cos1997 The model has external components referenced and current version of Discovery Live does not support external references.
    
    As a workaround, if I box select all the bodies (25) in graphics window and move them to a new location, the results get updated.
