Hi,
I'm meshing a square domain with a hole in the middle. Is 2d and very simple, but when I check the grid in fluent it tells me that I have a negative volume! what can I do? Thanks |

Is it axysymetric? Because then you must not have a grid with negativ y-cordinates.

Hi, the best thing is to work only in positive directions for x- and y-axis. In case you want to rotate your square, then your rotation axis has to be the x-axis! Claud

I had a similar problem. Increase number of nodes and try different meshing scheme.

This is more common when you have highly curved regions in your domain. In this case you have a circle where the grid may generate the negative volume on it. This can be elimintaed by dividing circle into more no. of segments and then mesh it. You need to try with diffrent grid spacings also.
