Problem:

When changing the material on tubeside, focus of the model changes to a different location in the model, why?

Example: 

On a stacked shell & tube HE model. Shell side is in carbon steel while tubeside is in SS316. Now, change the tubeside material to CS + SS316L. However, when making this change the channel shell gets shifted to the other end of the exchanger.

Solution:

90% of the time this would be caused by not selecting the correct chamber number.
