[ICEM] 3d blocking for hexa meshing a cylinder

CFD_Aspirator · September 13, 2015, 23:47

Hai all,

I have a 3d cylinderical geometry to be meshed. It is of radius 0.5 m and height 1m. All the surfaces are wall BC's. The top flat surface has an inlet of radius 0.05m. The inlet is offset from the centre, so I can not use 2d axisymmetric assumption. So I have to do a 3d meshing. I am unable to understand in what way I can do the associations. Please help me.

you should check out the tutorials. Especially the ones with Ogrids. It sounds like you want to mesh a standard cylinder - that should be pretty easy with an Ogrid.
If not, please post pictures so that we can understand your problem better.
