ICEM - mesh near wing trailing edge

Joao Lourenco

Hello everyone!

I am new using ICEM and I've run into a few problems.

I am trying to make a volume mesh around an airplane and I'm having problems with the trailing edge of the wing. The mesh in that area is very bad. Please see the following link:

I've tried many things to solve this: lowering the max deviation of the elements on those surfaces, placing iso-curves near the trailing edge of the wing to make sure that elements will be placed on the nodes of the curves. Nothing I've tried seems to be working.

I think it might be of the smoothing operations on the triangles when the surface mesh is generated. I've tried turning it off in the volume mesh settings but it still does this.

I really don't know what else to try. Can anyone please help me?

Thank you very much for your attention and I'm sorry for the rather big post.

Regards, Joao
