[ANSYS Meshing] Trapezoidal channel meshing

josefrancisco · May 2, 2023, 04:31

Hello!
I'm trying to achieve a mesh like the one attached. I've tried using face meshing + edge sizing while sweeping the mesh throughout the channel, but the results are not even close, with high skewness.

I'm importing the geometry from SolidWorks.

Could someone help me with the best way to achieve a mesh similar to this one? I'm new to meshing processes.

Looks like the mesh is generated from a structured mesh or they intentionally splitting the surfaces in the geometry to get the blocking look. It also could probably be a multizone mesh (I've never used it, correct me if I'm wrong).
