Hi,
I`m trying to build mesh for 'wing' model, but I`ve faced with some problems, that I don`t know method to solve
can anyone give me piece of advice?

Watching it in paraview, it looks like you did mistakes in defining the blocks - took one false point maybe?

Please check this again

I changed some 'arcs' to 'simpleSpline' and now I`ve problem only with skew faces, hope will solve it quickly
anyway, thanx

Faithfully,
Astarta
