Hi everyone. I'm meshing a ship hull on Gambit and having skewed elements on 6 faces of the hull. I have applied a curvature sizing function on the hull side and have tried various ways(eg. refining the curvature sizing function, splitted the faces with skewed elements) but they do not work so far. I have the screenshot of the mesh here. Suggestions/ reasons would be most welcome.

Thank you in advance!

Terence
