Hi

I have a fairly complex geometry that I am growing prism layers on and I am having trouble fixing the surface orientation errors that are a result of ICEM growing the prisms into adjoining volumes. The error that results is


cells near 0.399948 -0.027646 -1.093522 occupy the same volume
cells 23690080 and 311981
face node numbers 1139962 5344708 5344709
opposite vertices 5344710 4805721
cells near 0.399877 -0.027849 -1.093494 occupy the same volume
cells 311981 and 4224035
face node numbers 4805720 4805721 5344709
opposite vertices 1139962 4805719
faces are missoriented

The problem areas all occur where two different sized tet regions transition to each other, just in a new place every run. I have tried to change the growth ratio and the number of layers to try and get better transition between the different size tet's but ICEM never seems to run without returning these errors.

Thanks for any help or suggestions.
