[ANSYS Meshing] Body sizing

jmjohansen · February 26, 2015, 06:17

Hi.

I am trying to mesh the enclosed geometry.

I have specified the Hex dominant method. Now I would like to control the size of the cells.
Globally I have specified a max growth rate of 1.1 and a face size way smaller than the large cells in the enclosed picture.
I have also tried to apply body sizing as a separate step or specify it in the methods panel.

Why is Meshing ignoring my body sizing request? Is their an other way I can control it?

it is ignoring your body sizing because some surface/corner it is not able to mesh with given sizing.
Have you given "HARD" or "SOFT" Behavior in your sizing?

You can try using a lower 'Max Size' or impose 'Body Sizing'. One of these might help.
