cfd seeker is on a distinguished road
Normally in ICEM we start with a large block, make some splits according to geometry, some associations and adjustments etc for hexa meshing. This is what we call as Top-Down approach.

Now my question is it possible in ICEM to start with Bottom-up approach i.e make vertices, join them with edges and then associations and further process at a desired location in the geometry. Is it possible? If yes then what's the procedure?

I don't know but I always like this way of working because often I got confuse in making proper associations after the initial splits.

Can anybody share his/her ideas???

Thanks
Regards
