Hi everyone
I have posted this issue on the CFD forum, since no one has replied, I decided to post this in here. I have an issue of the model not visible when I have done the surface wrap. Anyway, I still transfer the invisible model into the CFD setup and the problem is I couldn't set the boundary conditions and materials assign as you couldn't see the model.

You have to turn the mesh into solid.
A mesh is only a shell with no solid, so you cant assign materials to a shell, the shell has no volume, etc.

I didn't know what I have done wrong so I record a video.

Hi
The thing is I don't know how to do it. I am just a technology dinosaur.

Convert a mesh model to a solid model can be easy or very tricky, and that can depends by many factors.
Your model looks quite big.

If you can attach the mesh model I can tell you more about it

Hi
I have tried using mesh enabler, it doesn't work. Some Autodesk staffs told me that I can import my mesh model directly to CFD by using surface wrap.

The issue is... i believe your surfaces are too complex, too detailed...
