Dear all,

Thank you very much for your previous assistance regarding the CAD import issue into THERM.

Following your recommendations, I redrew the profile manually and created the boundaries for each individual part. I then assigned the appropriate material to each profile.

However, when I proceed to the Boundary Conditions step, THERM displays several red circles, as shown in the attached image. I am not sure what these red circles indicate or how to correct this issue.

Could you please advise me on what might be causing this problem and how I can fix it?

Thank you in advance for your support.

Best regards,

You need to fill all the empty spaces with frame cavities.

You can look at the Sim Manual for examples

You can use the Fill tool, after selecting the Frame Cavity material, to automatically fill the empty areas.

Dear,

Thank you very much for your reply and your helpful suggestion.

I understand that I need to fill all the empty spaces with frame cavities using the Fill tool after selecting the Frame Cavity material. However, I'm not sure how to do this correctly.

Could you please explain the steps in more detail or, if possible, share a simple example or screenshot? I would really appreciate your help.

Thank you again for your time and support.

Best regards,

Dear All,

Thank you again for your previous assistance.

I am still experiencing the same problem. I followed your recommendations, but unfortunately the issue has not been resolved.

The problem remains the same, and I am still unable to proceed. I have attached an updated screenshot showing the current situation.

Could you please advise me on what I should check or do next?

Thank you very much for your continued support.

Kind regards,
