[ICEM] Strategy for blocking

rupak504 · October 4, 2021, 01:45

Hello,

I wish to have a hex mesh for this geometry multi-hole cylinder.PNG, co-ordinate system.PNG. Basically, it's a cylinder with multiple holes throughout its length as shown in the figure. I don't understand what should be the blocking strategy for these multiple holes.

any help would be highly appreciated.

regards

This would be perfect to use multizone meshing or just extrude a surface mesh. It is covered here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i-dXkuF4YSQ
Gives you quite some control of the mesh without giving you blocking headache. Good luck.
