Hi there,

I'm a beginner in ICEM. I'm trying to mesh my first complex geometry using quad elements in 2D.
I made the blocking and the mesh result is fine, though I could make some improvements out of it.

It was long and painful to get to that result but I think I learned a lot.
Still, It's very frustrating because I can't test it with Fluent. I had an error "Warning : Mesh has uncovered faces" when exporting to Fluent. I fixex it with the mesh check and repair option but I was not sure that it was a clear job. I once succeed to put it into Fluent but I had a boundary with two edges in the middle of my FLUID Part. These two edges are the edges that are black on my blocks.

During my block creation history, I had to remove two blocks and make some manoeuvers to get to that result. I'm unsure that it was the best strategy, but still what's done is done. Is there now a way to make these edges blue. I have the feeling that ICEM doesn't count them as part of the blocking and that seems to be the source of my problem.

Do I have a solution or do I have to start over ?

Also, the best solution for me would be to merge the three blocks between the two black edges into one single block. That would help meshing but I didn't succeed in doing that, is that possible to merge the three edges on the geometry and make one single block ?


Thanks for your time
