Meshing Error

December 26, 2006, 04:41

I encounterd an error where it says: Volume contains internal dangling face and so cannot be meshed with Map.

I tried to change the type of mesh used bt it still gives an error. Any idea what is a dangling face?

go to fluent help, u can find the literature about dangling face. it also guides to handle or eliminate dangling faces

Hi sharon,

Dangling face is something which is not referenced by the volume to which it is attached.

I beleive there is an extra face. Delete this face and try again.

Regards

Ryan
