ICEM CFD Part Mesh VS Curve Mesh?
 

Hello everyone, I don't have to say it but I've been learning CFD this past month for my master's program.

And one of the programs we're working on is ICEM CFD.


I have a quick question that I noticed while experimenting in the program regarding the meshing.


For a 2D pipe junction for example, let's say I created the mesh using Part Mesh with a size of 1 VS creating the mesh with the curve mesh (Selecting all curves) with the size 1


Would there be any difference between both cases?
Here's a link to a screenshot from ICEM:

thanks in advance for any help!

It depends on what have you assigned as parts. If all curves were assigned as parts and you selected all of them in part mesh setup to set their size to 1, then yes, it will be the same thing.
