Defects in surface imprint

cibi · February 11, 2021, 11:56

Hi everyone,

I'm running simulations on a geometry with side-holes. In post-processing I want to evaluate some parameters on the single side-hole, to do so I am loading the stl surface in Fluent and then I am doing the surface imprint.

Problem is that when I do this on a curved surface I get some defects as shown here:

This only happens on the inner side, while if I do the same on the external side everything is fine:

Does anybody know how to solve this and why it happens?

Thank you in advance

Hi,
Unfortunately, I can't help you with your problem. I happen to have a pretty similar problem and wanted to know if you were able to find a solution to it?
