[ICEM] ICEM does not conform the settings

Henry Arrigo · May 31, 2013, 16:09

Hello all
Anyone knows why ICEM does not conform the specified settings? Or may be I miss some steps?
I follow the steps presented in the ICEM tutorial to build a structured mesh on wing body. But seems that it has no difference if I specify the element size or not. It always uses same sizing which brings back very coarse elements. Also, after assigning a different sizing on surfaces It does not even ask for updating when I am going to tick on the pre-mesh node.

if you specify the mesh sizing through part mesh sizes, you need to update the sizes to take effect. Alternatively you can specify it in blocking tab

Many thanks Far. It works.
