[ICEM] Can't generate volume mesh

NhanLe · January 28, 2016, 05:12

Hi guys, I am pretty new to ICEM and trying to mesh the hydro turbine. The plan was generating the volume mesh from the surface mesh. I used All Tri for the surface mesh and Tetra/mixed (Delauney) for the volume, but the volume mesh was quite weird. I have defined the body too. Anyone can help ??? Thanks Capture.jpg

looks like your associations are incorrect.
I would suggest you work your way through all the tutorials and start with easier geometries before you work with such a complex geometry.
A blade itself is a challenge to mesh. In your case, a pattern would also be useful. Mesh one blade with the area around it and then copy that for the other blades (assuming that they are all the same...).

Thanks very much for your advice.
