[ANSYS Meshing] Inflation on different axis are cancelling themselves out, how can i fix?

cmwilliams · April 14, 2017, 19:48

Hello, I'm currently working on a project to model the flow of air across an airfoil. When attempting to add inflation to the blade for the boundary layer, or the inflation along the close and endwall of the domain, each work fine individually, however when I combine them, one cancels the other out and i only end up with one. I was wondering if there was a way I could resolve this within the ansys meshing tool, without having to use something like ICEM?

Please find attached the photos displaying the model.

You have a perfectly sweepable domain. So, why dont you use sweep with bias on the whole model and then introduce inflation on the blade wall.
