Shell Refinement running for 99 iterations
Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I was wondering if anyone could tell me what part of my snappyHexMeshDict is causing this to run for so long? I have tried changing some of it but have no luck reducing the time snappyHexMesh takes to run. Thanks very much

it also took just over an hour simply to run snappyHexMesh, any advice for a newcomer would be greatly appreciated

Dear Paul,
would be helpful to see your SnappyDict and the log as Code:
Code. minRefinementCells you are looking for. Best regards Julian |
Thanks for the response. I have tried changing that to 5, and then 0 but it still runs for a long time. here is the snappyHexMeshDict file

Thanks for your help |
with that shmd i am getting the following error

Thanks again |
Dear Paul,
concerning faster snapping: Try increasing minRefinementCells. Snappy tries to refine the mesh, until the defined number of cells still to refine is reached. Thus it stops earlier, if you increase the value. Quote:

Is this topic solved?
Otherwise I will give some suggestions. |
Yes it is solved thanks anyway
|
Yes Tobi please give suggestions. I am dealing with a similar issue.
Thank you! |

I also experienced this recently. Sometimes it takes just 2 iterations for shell refinement of 2 Million cells and sometimes 90 iterations for the same number cells to refine. Could anyone enlighten the reason behind this/ significance of this? Regards, Rajan |
It is based on the refinement level one sets up. E.g.;
Code:
level (1 3) This will refine your patch by level one in any case. However, based on the featureAngle you will refine e.g., some cells. Based on the new refinements it might occur that new cells are now selected to be refined (based on the refinement done previously). Thus, one can run into a refinement loop that does not stop. One example in which I observed that stuff. I did a refinement of (1 2) on a roof. The roof was aligned in such a way in accordance with the featureAngle that only a few cells gets selected for each surface refinement. After the refinement was done, the neighbor cells got selected to be refined until the whole roof was refined by level two. To overcome this there are more options:
Furthermore, as also mentioned by the CEO from cfMesh, the surface triangulation is important; c.f. https://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/op...sh-salome.html |
