Dear all,

I am trying to mesh a blunt delta (see image "BluntDelta.PNG") for a hypersonic flight simulation. Since it is flying at 0 degrees, I can take advantage of 2 symmetries (XY and XZ planes).

I have to mesh it using ICEM and I have already drawn the curves that define all the blocks and projected them to the other surfaces (see images "BluntDelta_surfaces.PNG" and "BluntDelta_all.PNG") in order to make sure that all the blocks have 6 faces (hexahedral mesh).

I am not very experience with ICEM, I only did one project and the split method was screen select because the geometry wasn't very complex. However in this case I have to make many splits with complex shapes and I would like to know if I can split blocks based on curves or if i can extrude them by selecting the bounding edges or points.

Thank you in advance!
