how to use turboGrid to generate full Fan's mesh

September 8, 2005, 16:10

I understand the TurboGrid can generate a single blade mesh. How to generate full Fan's mesh. Thanks

You don't need to generate mesh for a full fan TurboGrid. What you need is just a mesh for one single passage. After you import this single passage mesh into CFX-Pre, you can copy it to a full fan mesh. By the way, you need to glue those copies together.

Could you show me how to glue them. Thanks

You can find all the information in "Rotation Transformation" under "Mesh Transformation Editor" section of CFX mannual.

How to deal with Periodic face. Thanks

When you glue those copies together, there will be no interfaces between them. Periodic surfaces exist only when you just model several blade passages. For a full fan, there should be no periodic surfaces.

Thanks longbow. I would like to know how to deal with Periodic surfance. Do you have any idea?

In order for people to help you, you probably need to give a little more information on what you want to do and what's problem you are facing.
