Hello,

I am new to CFD and this is my first post, but I think it won´t be my last. The following block is part of a bigger mesh, which is a cylindrical ring with a flat surface.

When I try to mesh this part I get a curved face where it should be flat. At the outer wall it is convex and the inner one is concave. This happens when I define the connection between 4 2, 6 0, 5 3 and 7 1 as "arc". A straight connection results in a flat face.

Please have a look at the blockMeshDict and/ or the picture.

Tanks in advance.
