block-structured mesh for t-junction
5 Attachment(s)
Hey forum,
I have to do a block-structured mesh for T-junction. There it would be nice, if you could give me some hints in creating a high quality mesh. I'm adding pics of a first shot. I'm also having problems in associating correctly, as you can see in the region of blending greetings, robert |
Can you attach the *.tin file here ?
I could have a look ;) |
Hi
At the moment I can just give you the replay-file, maybe you can test it there. Code:
ic_geo_new_family GEOM |
It doesn't help, because I would like to understand why you did a quarter of O-grid at the junction. So the geometry file would help a lot more than the replay file ;)
Anyway, are you sure you need this quarter of O-grid ? |
No I am not sure, therefore I asked if you have some ideas about meshing a T-junction. I am not very familiar with meshing at all.
First I tested a single cylinder with an O-grid. My plan was to create an O-grid in the T-junction later, too. I made the geometry in ICEM, so if you use my replay-file it creates the geometry and the blocking. |
Is it the exact geometry you want to mesh ?
Because your 2nd tube is not cut at the junction with the main tube. Anyway, I will have a look at it and let you know ! |

T junction
Hi Everyone,
Please I'm very new to ICEM. I have a problem of creating a T juction in ICEM and applying an Ogrid mesh. Please how do I go about this? Thanks in advance akone |

You can use similar blocking.

Hi Sushilkumar,
Thanks for your reply. To be honest I'm not sure how to go about it. If you can give a step by step procedure, I'll be truly grateful. Thanks akone |
If you see in this 'T' there are three identical parts. You start with any one. I started with the middle cylinder.
Generate a block for middle cylinder. Associate the edges on both the sides. Split the block vertically. Choosing end faces of these two adjacent blocks create 'O' grid. Now, there will be total eight blocks. Using extrude faces option, extrude the 4 blocks to left and 4 blocks to the right. Move the vertices to respective locations. Assign the respective edges to the curves. This will generate the blocking for half cylinder (cylinder cut along axis). Again using extrude generate the blocks for remaining half cylinder. While doing this you will have to use 'merge vertices' option to sew the generated blocks together to form a complete 'O' grid. I hope this is useful. |

Hi Sushilkumar
Good timing, I wasnt working on this icem problem the last time. So I tried your guide, but I cant finish it. First I made the left cylinder. Then, for the part at the top I made a new block (initialize block) and split it. I made o-grid again and merged the vertices. But at the part in the right, I cant do this. So I tried "create block/extrude faces" like you said, but I cant do the angular faces in the correct manner... |
Please check,

Thx for the Howto. But this is a complete different way to block the T-junct. It works for the example where a small cylinder intersects a big one. But in my case, both have the same diameter and therefore the cells are getting really bad angles:
|
Sorry, I didn't realized this.
In your post I guess you have done it in right way. To solve your problem try extruding the inclined faces. and then move the vertices to required place. Hope this helps. |

Hi Sushilkumar
I just got the other blocking strategy by copying and 90°-rotating the first short cylinder and merging the vertices (see picture). But again my mesh is badly. Would be really nice, if you could show yours. Thx! Greetings, Robert |
This blocking seems perfect. can you make the edges visible and post a snap? That will make the problem clear to me.

Here you go:

It seems okay. Just associate the edges carefully to the curves. You should get the right mesh.
|
Hi
Is it possible, that you can show your mesh, plz? Greetings, Robert |

Thx for ur help Sushilkumar
I dis-associated your mesh and made some changes. Then I got nearly the same mesh, than I sent to you. I think with this blocking strategy, there have to be a bad crossover of the cells. (what were the changes you made, I just can see the the moving of the corner points of the blocks, but this changes nothing in my opinion) Here some pictures of my mesh: |
