Hello everybody,

So I've been starting using OPENFoam those last days and I am a bit stuck at the layer insertion in my mesh.

First of all : I'm meshing a 3D profile (clarkypt) for some remote controlled device to know more about the ground effect on such slender body ... slender because for 1m long, I have only 0.1m of width! so it is 3D since I'm interested in 3D effects.

So for now I generated a mesh without surface layers, to keep it simple, but know, I'd like to add it to capture accurately my boundary layer.

The problem : sHM seems to be detecting that he needs to add layers ... but it clearly says : no layer extruded ... so my question is: why ?

here is the dictionnary I'm using:

and the output of SHM:

So if someone could give me a hint of were it could go wrong ... I would really appreciate it!

for now what I tried is :
play with feature Angle up to 180° : result is above,
play a bit with the mesh quality : reduce the tolerance to allow bad cells ... doesn't seem to have an effect.

I have to say that I am a bit lost!

Thanks for reading,

Pierre
