Hi everyone.

Ive only just started using ICEM (like 2 days ago) and have been trying to mesh a 3d wing with leading edge tubercles in ICEM. Essentially what I did was follow the 2D wing tutorial that everyone generally gets pointed to, and made it 3D with multiple blocks in the spanwise direction (someone suggested to do it this one on someone elses thread)

My problem is, that while my mesh looks okay superficially (kinda), when I run error checks it comes up with lots of errors, and weird stuff keeps happening when I try to import it into CFX. For instance my boundary conditions all change and become weird, and there are random floating blocks in domain.

Does anyone have any idea what is going on, or what I have done wrong? I know the mesh is not particularly pretty too, but I have been really trying just to get it to work.

If anyone could help me out and point me in the right direction, that would be great.

Here are my files. (both zip files have the same mesh, tubercle_mesh_1b just has the hex mesh. Figured I would give both so you did have to dl such a big file if you have slow internet speeds)

Ans some pics of my mesh, and what is happening when I import it into ansys.


If anyone could help me out and point me in the right direction, that would be great.
