Friends,

1-What do you think of my mesh?
2- there is a material showing the the range of values for a good mesh (aspect ratio, non-orthogonality, etc)


Code:
Create time

Create polyMesh for time = 0

Time = 0

I am using Salome to generate my mesh... is the best and practical option I found with relation to graphical interface.
