[ICEM] Meshing a 3 D room

anand32 · December 26, 2016, 15:18

Hi All
I am a newbie and still in learning phase of ICEM.
I am trying to mesh a 3 D room with furniture in it. I have created a block enclosing the whole geometry and then divided the block to create new blocks which enclose the geometry. After that I have attached the edges of the new block- which enclose the furniture- with the curves of the furniture. But I have not attached the other internal edges. I have attached the external edges to the curves of the walls of the room as well.
My problem is that when I pre-mesh, I get a surface mesh on the walls of the room and internal walls only, but do not get any 3D mesh inside the room- where the fluid (air ) will be.
Could someone help me tide over the problem?
As I said, I am still learning the software and my problem might seem a very rudimentary one to you. But trust me, even going through ICEM tutorials did not help me here
Regards

It does not show up by default . Octree genereates 3d mesh. Did you use octree
