zoeburton1987 is on a distinguished road
I am currently meshing a last steam turbine stage in AutoGrid5. I have generated meshes using the Basic Mode but have encountered an error as there is a significant overlap between the stator outlet and rotor inlet - shown in attached image and I'm getting the error "overlap in row: row2". I assume this stems from the automatic definition of the stator/rotor interface but I don't know how to fix it.

I imported the stator and rotor blade surfaces with accompanying single curve defining the hub and another single curve defining the shroud from an .igs file create in Solidworks.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can fix this?

Thanks in advance

Zoe
