Dear all,

I've just started with tetra meshing in ICEM and it's been a little bit frustrating so far:
I'm trying to mesh a pelton manifold (figure):
I just set a max element size for the different parts at the part setup and mesh (octree) the domain. I also click the curvature/proximity to refine the elements until a min limit of 0.5 for different geometry problems. Most of the lowest quality elements appear at the entry of each injector (which I assume it's normal) but below a 0.3 (a reference acceptable number) quality there is a huge number of elements. I guess I'm doing something wrong but I need a hand now.
The output quality is so low that I don't waste my time producing prisms.
I've tried to improve that quality with several tricks that I've seen around this website but it does not really work.
Thanks for your help!
Oscar
