Hi,

I am currently working ona generic submarine hull form, I am fairly happy with the mesh so far however i have one area where i can not find a solution.

I have used a c grid approach to block the appendages (fins and sail) however when i have c gridded the block left for the appendages has a diamond/triangular shape, thus creating a region of mesh that has poor angles and skewness.

1. Is c gridding the best approach for the appendages (fins and sail)?
2. Is there method to remove this triangluar block inside the fins?

I have atatched a couple of pictures of my mesh and the blocking stratergy.

Thanks for any help,

Ben,

p.s. I have tried merging vertices, merging blocks and all either distort the surronding blocks or create negative volumes.
