Hi,
i am trying to mesh on a fin-body configuration using multizone option in ICEM 14.5, facing problem while filling the 2D block to 3D fill. The geometry consists of body+fins (360 deg no symmetry) and a farfield (cylinder). The body is enclosed in the farfield surface (no contact between the body and farfield). The material point is defined between the body and farfield. 2D surface block initialized very well. When I tried to fill it with Multizone with advanced filling option, volume filled the farfield ignoring the body. No volume mesh, why? Anybody can help me? Its an external flow problem.

at the moment, 2D to 3D fill only works if the faces are all connected. It will not support this situation where there is no contact between the FF and the body.
You could try creating a symmetry model (the symmetry plane could connect the FF and Body) and then mirror it if you need a full model.

It works really great with a half mesh.
The problem arises at the sharp trailing edge of the airfoils, a very low quality mesh Quality is around 0. in that areas. How can I handle that while working in multizone meshing?

Maybe a picture of the problem would help.

In your case, you had very high aspect ratio quads... I didn't even see a volume mesh, but if you had generated one, the pyramids against those quads would have been even worse...
How about a nice MultiZone swept mesh instead? Something like this (the CYAN mesh is a cutplane thru a swept quad dominant MZ mesh). MZ_Wing.jpg I attached a blocking file. Let me know if I have permission to post a tutorial on this model and I will make a 1 minute demo to show you how it is done. Best regards, Simon

I should note that for the best quality mesh, I would recommend a hexa blocking... But the MultiZone Mesh can be done without any blocking skills...

Error in opening Blocking File. Better to add geometry as well.
You can post the tutorial privately if not possible to post here.

Prisms not there, what happened with quality when prism layers will present?
can this technique be used for complex configurations like whole aircraft with control surfaces etc ? Quote:
