I got a new problem with cfMesh and the Object Refiniment.
I make a Box in Paraview and use that Properties in cfMesh, but i dont see any refinements in this area.


What do i wrong ?

relatively simple geo, mind to consider snappy? (i dont know cfmesh, im afraid).

There should be added boundary layers, to capture the wall law. With SHM they collapse suddenly, and the simulation get diverget every time, so i decided to try it with cfMesh. Best regards Kai

[nope]

Have you tried to remove everything else from your meshDict? I saw you commented much of it somewhat out. Maybe try to remove it because I'm not sure if the way you comment it out works well.
Anyway I basically do the same thing and it works. I'm using surfaceFeatureEdges and then use the resulting ftr file in the meshDict instead of directly the stl as you do.
