Dear Foamers,

I would like to know what is the wrong with my SHM's settings. I am doing a wind loading simulation (16 M Cells) and my prism layers are really bad at corner edges. You can see this on the picture attached to my message.

The prism generation crash at corner edges even if I have (I guess) a correct setting on SHM :

Quote:
// When not to extrude surface. 0 is flat surface, 90 is when two faces
// are perpendicular
featureAngle 180;

// At non-patched sides allow mesh to slip if extrusion direction makes
// angle larger than slipFeatureAngle.
slipFeatureAngle 75;
Generally "an optimum value of 180 or higher is recommended to grow layers at corner edges" according to https://www.simscale.com/docs/conten...dSettings.html

Could you help me ? What did I do wrong ?

Thanks a lot,

Regards

It seems that featureAngle 180 is not the best setting to grow layers at corner edges. featureAngle 60 could be better...

Your edges are very jagged. Did you use surfaceFeatureExtract?
