Default Geometry ignored on symmetry plane

Hi everyone,

I am trying to mesh a simple 3d wing half model with a symmetry plane. Octree works but Fluent does not seem to like the mesh... Thus I am trying to use the patch dependent mesher. Works fine on the wing but when I mesh the symmetry plane the mesh is strangely distorted and ignores the geometry at the leading and trailing edges ( see pics). I believe I have tried all options and also attached curve setting to the contact curve. Nothing changes the behaviour.

I can't attach the files because of size but will send them out if somebody could have a look. It's probably something simple but I am out of ideas... The same geometry work fine in CFX mesh but the control there is so limited. I also tried several import formats including the original Solidworks file.

Thanks for any advice.

Kai
