Hi averyone,
I have a problem with meshing a complex geometry. My case is a valve with a tilting shutter and I have to calculate equilibrium position of the shutter and also head losses. So I have to control first layer thickness on both shutter and valve walls. I created a named selection for shutter and one for walls, but I am not able to insert the inflation option for both. In the general meshing setting you can only choose between 'program controlled' and 'chosen named selection'. 'program controlled' doesn't make what I want and in 'chosen named selection' you can pick only one selection but I have two. If I insert an inflation option, it asks me for 'boundary' of the inflation layer so I pick up its edges but it doesn't work. (I'm also not sure what this boundary means). Have you got an idea about how to solve this problem? Thank you |

Using "program controlled" should generate inflation on all surfaces that are NOT in a named selection.
By inserting inflations instead, unless it's a swept mesh, the boundary should be chosen as the surfaces that make up the wall and not the edges |
