[ICEM] Prism layer doesn't cover the whole curve

kozalp · January 4, 2014, 18:14

Hey guys,

I have a curve boundary formed by about 50 points. I am trying to create a prism layer on it, but what I get is this:

Also, here is my geometry file: http://speedy.sh/S6Fng/global.tin

I have tried many softwares to create the geometry, such as Rhino, Solid, Autocad and ICEM CFD.

It gets more weird when I create a surface using this curve and rectangular axissymmetric domain. It's like curve is too curvy for the program to capture.
It creates the surface, but a rough one. It looks like it does not completely capture the curve.

Any help guys?

Here is another geometry and again the same problem:

Thanks for the reply diamondx.

With that part, you mean the outer boundary too?
