Hello everyone,

I am trying to simulate a flow through a pourous media. Therefore I have a geometry exported out of CAD and tried to mesh it with SHM. I want to do a 2D simulation so i plan on creating a 2D mesh using extrudeMesh after i create the mesh out of the CAD file. I attached the STL File which I use. I tried adding layer using the light red patches. Therefore Layers are added from both sides.

Inside the mesh this worked for three layers, however adding more layers results in problems due to the displacement of the other cells. Has anybody an idea how I can add more layers or how I can mesh the cells to follow the boundary? It is very important to the simulation that the cells "follow" the curved geometry at the left side over the hole diameter.

I added a screenshot of the mesh with 3 layers, this is how it should look like but the layers over the complete diameter. I also don't understand why the outside of the mesh has no layers (see also screenshot).

Has anybody an idea how i can mesh the curved geometry, so that the cells follow the outer walls? With blockMesh and splines i can create a geometry like that but I need the exact geometry from the CAD files.

Thanks in advance guys!
