Dear all,

I'm keenly interested in the described use of SHM and refineMesh and I've read your previous posts.
I still have trouble in refining the free surface region.

My procedure is:

1. run blockMesh
2. run SHM (setting castellated, snap, layers as true)
3. run topoSet to select a box to be refined
4. run refineMesh over the selected box and refining just in normal direction

It's not clear to me if I have to run repeatedly topoSet and refineMesh, adapting every step the box to be refined in topoSet, because the refineMesh can split just one initial cell into two (in normal direction).
Is this the only way or a smarter procedure exist?
Any suggestions (also about my workflow) is really appreciated! Thanks for youe support,

Best regards.

Andrea
