[ICEM] Help with bad elements

Julian121 · November 21, 2018, 11:36

I am meshing a flow domain which has some curved vanes.
After I generate prism layers around the vanes, some elements with very bad quality appear.
Although I have set maximum global element size, these giant elements still appear.
I have enabled refinement along curvatures and proximity based refinement but they could not help.
I would appreciate it if anyone could suggest a solution.

I see this happening after smoothing my mesh. But only if I 'Allow node merging'. For this reason I always switch this off.
