Meshing of road vehicle
 

Hi

I am meshing the Ahmed's vehicle. I am getting the problem in meshing the high curvature surface at the front portion. Attached are the tin, blocking and snapshots of meshing. Any suggestion?

Hi, Far!! I suppose you got it but I will tell you how to proceed for other people.
The key is split the ahmed nose by means isoparametric curves, and then you could carry out the right associations: vertex to points and then edges to curves. Ask me if you need further information. Simon Pereira told me this metodology!! =)

By the way, do you know how to generate an hybrid mesh with ICEM?? I mean, I am stucked since I don't get an unsteady wake and I think of doing an unstructured mesh in the block behind the car... Any suggestion will be appreciated!

where is the tin file, teh geometry file, otherwise can not help

Here you go.
