Hi all -

I've managed to create a structured mesh over a blade-to-blade turbine cascade region, shown below. However, I cannot seem to specify the domain as two-dimensional. I use Blocking > Pre-Mesh Params > Edge Params and specify the z-directional edges as two nodes in width (for two-dimensionality).



However, even when I do, I end up with three nodes, as shown in the second picture.



I know this is because the Mesh > Part Mesh Setup is interfering with the results for the following reason. Right now, my max size for all the parameters is 5 mm. However, when I change it to 10 mm, the z-directional edges have only two nodes, like I specified!

I know I could avoid using the Part Mesh Setup, but I need it as I want an inflated boundary layer on the turbine blades.

Is there anyway to use both and still have a two-node (i.e. two-dimensional) thickness?
