Blocking in ICEM
 

Hi!

I'm a beginner in CFD, and am using ICEM for hexa meshing. I've attached my geometry in 2D and 3D. I have problem with blocking my 3D, since there are so many curves and I find it difficult to associate edges to all these curves. I wonder if I can block the 2D model instead and then revolve the block and continue with meshing. Does that make any sense?
I appreciate any sort of help.

Thanks in advance,

MA

This is the normal way of doing it, go for it ...

Thanks! :)

Is the revolve feature similar to extruding blocks along one of the coordinate directions and then setting pre-mesh parameters along the extruded length?

Is it possible to create a 3D part from an initially 2D sketch by using revolution in ICEM CFD?

Looking forward to your responses.

Yes , in create a block you have the option "2d -> 3D", there you can extrude along a direction or revole; you will then get your 2d blocking
