Dear friends,
I have created a 3d spiral coil in gambit, now trying to mesh the volume after finishing the meshing operation the whole geometry shrinks into a 3d shape just like a simple spiral line. here is the geometry (attach file) how ever I dont have a screenshot from the meshed status right now but if you require to see and understand the situation, I can mesh it again and put a screen shot here thanks in advance. |

Try to split your volume into several maller volumes.
Create one (yz) plane and split your volume with the face. Then the same with (xz or xy I don't see the orientation). Finally you have subdomains for each 90° angle. If you still have problem, try to isolate a smaller portion (45°, or 25°, etc...)

in this way I would have 8 volumes indeed
am I right ? I must try this , thanks seems like it just meshes the geometry along a straight line , not a curvilinear one that is my spiral line that a circle line is extruded along. |

create a yz-plane (a surface)
split it with your volume. Theorically it will separate your volume into 2 subvolumes, but in your case you will have more than one subvolume at each side. You will understand
