Dear All:-
After a number of trials for setting up the liquid phase ( which should be represented by a sphere to express water droplet), I found the droplet shape skewed (as shown in the inserted picture) and I attributed that to Mesh_Shape effects.
Is there anything to do to prevent that type of connection and get the original spherical shape intact?
Thanks for any suggestion!

Hello, can you post the snap with mesh in wireframe and droplet.
It seems that your mesh is very coarse to have nodes in those regions.

You can try refining your mesh locally.

Thank you for replying. I have resolved the problem by local refining.

Thanks for replying. I know it is good solution to refine the mesh but let me clarify what I meant:-
Is there any way to make uniform internal hex mesh inside a box (cube) and then connecting it with the other 6 surfaces which are meshed differently from the internal mesh. For example: Assume there is circle on the center of the top surface and we meshed it with uniform Hex Mesh and try to connect it to the internal uniform mesh. The question is open for all. Any suggestions ?
