Mesh Seeds in ANSYS WorkBench Meshing

smcp · March 12, 2012, 12:45

Hello all,

I am having some trouble sorting out a way to run a sort of parametric mesh routine in WorkBench. Routine is a little misleading - I'm not trying to run a script. Basically, I have an aero/fluid-solid with a modular region, so I would like to mesh the entire body (not including the modular region) a single time, and then be able to mesh the variable module such that it conforms to the original mesh. This would be a very similar operation to using mesh seeds in ICEM.

I have considered using the skin command in FE Modeler, but this just produces surfaces, not an actual mesh seed. Can anyone think of a solution? Is it even possible in the WB framework?

Thank you very much for your help, in advance.

Sincerely,
Sheridan

P.S. Windows 32 bit platform
