Can I use dynamic layering in case of a 3D geometry?

PranjalNewton · October 1, 2015, 12:53

Hi there!

Ansys documentation says "
You can use the dynamic layering method to split or merge cells adjacent to any moving boundary provided the following conditions are met:
- All cells adjacent to the moving face zone are either wedges or hexahedra (quadrilaterals in 2D) even though the cell zone may contain mixed cell shapes.
"

Does this mean this can be only used for 2D mesh?

Thanks.

Hi, you can use layering with 2d quadrilateral or 3d hexaedral/wedges cells.

Thanks a lot! It seems I misinterpreted it.
