Hi all,

I have meshed a 2D airfoil on ICEM CFD. My mesh (2D) contains 140 000 elements. Now I would like to extrude it in order to have a 3D mesh with 20 layers in the z direction. After this, I'm planning to do 3D simulations on my extruded mesh with Fluent.

Can anyone give help me please? Do you have any step by step tutorial that do the job or show me how ?

N.B: - I'm new to ICEM CFD.
- I have looked in ANSYS tutorial and they were suggesting to use the extrude mesh command. But when I export the extruded mesh to Fluent, I have ''face or thread '' errors. I think this is du to part definition, but I do not know exactly how to resolve it.
- There is on youtube a famous video that shows how to extrude a 2D mesh to 3D that is applied on a cylinder. When I apply the same technique on my airfoil, I have some problems mostly related to associations I say but I'm not sure.


Thank you again for your help,
