[ICEM] multizone not creating volume mesh

diamondx · October 13, 2012, 17:52

Hello,
I have problem when using the 2d--»3d fill.
when selecting cut plane, i can't see volume elements. is there a reason for that not to happen, i only get shell elements.
Other problem i have, if i select "ogrid", volume are only created in that ogrid i added (for boundary layer), other tetra are not created.
What am I missing. Everything was working good earlier this morning but not this afternoon...
Thanks.

What type of geometry you are trying with multi-zone method? Would you like to show us some pics where problem is occurring?

I guess, you are fresh in morning, so try it again next morning

)

hummm, now that i think about it. i had two geometry in my folder. two different wing.
after changing the geometry, the multizone fill was working again. may be it's because of geometry.
Have you got any wing geometry there i can try again ?? or airplane ??
Thanks

that's good that you have managed to learn multizone.....do teach us how you got it working because i struggled with it a lot...may be through a small video or pics. Thanks
