Hi,

I am using the Ansys 13.0 Workbench mesher to mesh a 3D saloon car (quite blunt, without appendices, but with many fillets) in a wind tunnel.

I have tried Patch Conforming and Hex Dominant methods and they take ages and do not seem to finish the meshing process. With Patch Independent it does not seem to capture well the features and with CutCell it cannot cope with an inflation.

The car length is about 1500 mm, the element min. and max. sizes are 1 mm and 250 mm respectively. The growth ratio is set at 1.2 and the global sizing function is based on proximity and curvature.

For instance, with Patch Conforming and leaving everything by default, it does not reach an end.

I hope someone out there can give me a hand. I have been using Gambit, but for less complicated geometries and do not have much experience with Ansys Workbench.

Thanks a lot beforehand.

Regards,

Ivan.
