It is recommended to check the geometry in the 3D Viewer before submitting runs. Make sure all of your geometries and assemblies that you intend to run are present. If you don't see one of your geometries in the 3D Viewer, then it will not be present in the run.
Note: For the Airfoil tool the 3D viewer is not available due to the 2D nature of the input. Be sure to check your geometry inputs carefully before proceeding.
It is recommended to use the 3D viewer in Chrome browser. The 3D Viewer may not work properly in Internet Explorer.
