[ICEM] Y-grid causes strange associations

snejball91 · July 20, 2015, 04:25

Hello dear community,

I got a Problem with ICEM as I am trying to use a y-grid because of a triangular shaped block that i need to mesh. Pictures: http://imgur.com/a/pCaNr

At first I created a 3d bounding block and merged the lower Vertices. After that i split up the block into the parts that i need and deleted one of the lower triangular parts like you can see on the picture.

But after I edited the lower block to a y-grid the whole associations are messed up. That causes big problems with the mesh.

Can someone explain how to fix that? Deleting these associations doesn't help.

Thanks

Short update by myself to help other users who face the same problem.

I talked to the supervisor of the university and he told me that i can split up the whole geometry into two parts. Later on I can import two meshes in the solver and select an interface where I split the mesh up. So in the solver it gets reconnected again.
