zordiack Member Pekka Pasanen Join Date: Feb 2012 Location: Finland Posts: 87 Rep Power: 14	Hi, lately I've been having a lot of trouble with cfMesh edge detection. The mesh is fine otherwise, but sharp edges are not conformed or "snapped". I have the original geometry in a file whole.stl, and I'm using the following command to detect edges: Code: surfaceFeatureEdges -angle 120 whole.stl whole.fms The file whole.fms is then used as an input for cfMesh meshDict. I've attached a picture to show the problem, where the surface file whole.stl and generated mesh are shown in paraview. Any help? Is this the correct way to use edge detection with cfMesh or is there a better way? I don't recall having this problem before, but I might just have been lucky. I'm using OpenFOAM-dev with cfMesh 1.1.1. Last edited by zordiack; December 1, 2015 at 09:55. Reason: corrected title
