[ICEM] Scaling mesh

Spookz · March 4, 2013, 05:09

Hello,

is it possible to scale a mesh in ICEM CFD?

I have scaled up a geometry by factor 2 in CAD and want to use the mesh i used before for the smaller geometry just fitted to the ne bigger geometry.

Thanks for answer

Yes it is possible. Which meshing type you are asking? hexa or tetra?

It's a tetra mesh

For Hexa I usually scale the blocks...

i recomment doing this in the unsctructured level. so you don't have to associate...
