Hello all ,

I created a s-shaped solid cylindrical pipe in Design modeler by sketching a circle in yz plane and sweeping it along a s-shaped curve which i sketched in xy plane. The s-shaped curve in xy plane used fillet feature to smooth the corners. The problem with my geometry now is that surfaces are not smooth. When I import this geometry in ICEMCFD i see some unnecessary edges along and across the surface of this geometry. How can i get rid of these edges. I dont have my geometry with me right now but i am willing to upload it later if that makes things easier for anyone who wants to help out.

Also, what kind of mesh would be appropriate for such a geometry to model incompressible, viscous, laminar fluid flow within this model. Is ICEMCFD or Workbench better for this ??


Thanks for any help

Prakash
