Grid check failed

Hi, I created my grid file in I-DEAS, and then imported into Fluent for computation. Just after importing the grid, the "Grid check" command didn't find anything wrong, but after I finished the initialization, there was a warning saying non-positive volumes exist, and this time the grid check also failed, stating that many elements are lefthanded and many nodes lie below the axisymmetric axis. (my computation involved a mass-flow-inlet and a pressure-outlet, and I chose mass-inlet as initialized point.)
I can't figure out where I've gone wrong, if anyone could give me some hint or help, I'd be very grateful. |

For the nodes lying below axisymmetric axis..try a grid translate option in fluent. If ur problem is axisymmetric about X..use Y translate =0.00001 (basically a small value). I had the same problem once with this error and it worked.
For lefthanded cells do this.. > grid > modify zones > repair face handedness Try this might work..! |

I alos had the problem with non positive volumes. They only seem to materialise after I initialze. I don't experience any face nadedness problems though. Do you know why fluent suddenly found or created volumes with non positive sizes???

I've had this problem, too, when I was generating the grid using Gambit for both hex- and tet- elements. I do not know any reason why, but there is also a grid check in Gambit which is very helpful in finding out which volume in your model is wrong---most of the time I try to change the interval assignments and remesh the volume.

Thanks a lot, Sandeep, I solved this problem by translating my grid a little bit along Y direction. and it seems that if there're nodes lying below the axis for the axisymmetric problem, then non-positive volumes will arise by revolving such nodes, and at the same time cell lefthandedness appears also.
thanks again, all. |
