Dear all,

I have prepared a very simple example showing a problem in the anisotropic mesh refinement of cfmesh.

I am meshing an arc



The left leg is at the origin of the axes.

Here is the meshDict without refinement:

// * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * //

surfaceFile "arc.fms";

maxCellSize 0.2;

boundaryCellSize 0.2;

minCellSize 0.1;

Here is the result



which is ok.

Now say I want larger elements in the z direction, only on the left leg, here is the box refinement I use

surfaceFile "arc.fms";

maxCellSize 0.2;

boundaryCellSize 0.2;

minCellSize 0.1;


anisotropicSources
{
   Box0
   {
   type box;
   centre (0 0   4);
   lengthX 2;
   lengthY 2;
   lengthZ 3;
   scaleX 1;
   scaleY 1;
   scaleZ 3;
   }
}

Here is the result:



As you can see, the larger elements are ALSO on the right leg.

Looks like a bug to me.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

That's weird, it never has resulted in something like this for me. Have you tried smaller values for the lengthX and lengthY ?

The size of the leg is 1 x 1 x 10, that's why I use 2 for the box length in the X and Y direction.

Can you tell me which version of cfmesh you use?
