Edit a local resolution constraint

This example shows how to edit a local resolution constraint and update its parent surface wrap geometry. You will add the heat exchanger polygon body to the existing constraint.

In the Simulation Navigator , do the following:

  1. Under the Local Resolution Container node, right-click the Local Resolution 1 node and choose Show Only.

  2. Under the Polygon Geometry node, select the heat exchanger polygon body.

  3. Under the Local Resolution Container node, right-click the Local Resolution 1 node and choose Edit.

Select the heat exchanger polygon body.

Click OK.

In the Simulation Navigator , right-click the surface wrap recipe node and choose Update.
