[ICEM] Surface Hybrid Mesh with Hexahedral interior Volume. Possible?

Santiago · January 30, 2013, 17:50

Hi all,

This is my inquiry:

Let us say you have one volume represented by six faces. Two opposing faces are "all quads/Patch dependant" meshes. The rest are structured meshes "All quads/Autoblock". Can it be possible to fill up this volume with only hexahedrons?
My intent here is to reduce the number of nodes in the span-wise direction in a specific part of the domain, by cutting and modifying a chunk of the domain and then re-merging this modyfied part with the rest.

Thanks in advance

Try multizone meshing of ICEM V 14.5

Unfortunately, I don't think I have access to that version of ICEM. I'll have to ask the IT guys about that.
