How complex a mesh can be created using blockMesh? Has anyone got any examples to share?

Thanks!

Only your imagination is the limit :-)

(also, probably you cannot exceed some 1 billion blocks or so due to limited lenght of 32-bit INT)

Hi,

One further point to add is that AFAIK blockMesh runs only in serial. So in that case it also becomes a matter of how long you are willing to wait for a complicated mesh to be generated.

Cheers,
