[ICEM] Unnecessary mesh in the hole

erzdemir · September 16, 2014, 10:30

Hello,

I created below meshing but there are element created in the hole also due to middle block I presume, how can I prevent this situation?

hmm... deleting the blocks in your hole?

Edit:

Just saw your first thread... Is the mesh 2d? And are you sure you only selected the "hole block" for your o-grid?

It is 3D and I only select hole block for hole grid

Ah 3D!
when you select the around block option, the o-grid will be generated around all faces, also above the top face and the buttom face.
To avoid that, remove your o-grid, or start over, and then select the block in the hole again. Additionally, use the select face option to select the top and buttom face of the block in the hole. Check the around block option and generate the o-grid.
That should do it.
With regards,
Sebastian
