Hello,

I am studying the displacement of a cylinder due to the vortex separation caused by the flow of fluid over it. I have meshed a 2-d cylinder in Gambit and running it in CFX.

After 5 iterations I get the following error:

ERROR #002100012 has occurred in subroutine cVolSec. | | Message: |
| A negative ELEMENT volume has been detected. This is a fatal |
| error and execution will be terminated. The location of the first |
| negative volume is reported below. |
| Volume : -0.2583E-07 |
| Location : ( -0.52179E-01, -0.24773E+01, -0.15000E-01)

CFD Solver: The mesh is invalid or folded


Can I repair the mesh in ICEM or something !!!!
