SnappyHexMesh: parameter & refinement choice

Hi @ all,
for a few weeks I'm working with OpenFOAM 2.0.0. So I don't have much experience working with it. Now I'd like to mesh a complex geometry with snappyHexMesh. Snappy is working fine and the created mesh looks good, but when I check the mesh with checkMesh some errors occur, like: ***Error in face pyramids: 45 faces are incorrectly oriented. <<Writing 45 faces with incorrect orientation to set wrongOrientedFaces ***Max skewness = 6.578289, 3 highly skew faces detected which may impair the quality of the results <<Writing 3 skew faces to set skewFaces It gets even worse when I do further refinements. I guess there are several ways to avoid these errors. So I tried to change some parameters in snappyHexMeshDict but without success. The mesh quality didnt raise. So, can anybody give me some advice, what's a good choice for parameters in snappyHexMeshDict? Another point I'd like to know is the choice of refinement. Is it better to generate a coarse mesh with blockMesh and do the refinement with snappy or to make a fine mesh with blockMesh and less refinement with snappy? Thanks a lot for your help. Marango |

Hi marango,
I also experienced these wrong oriented faces with OF2.0.0 Before I had never such an error. It could be this error comes from the new snap feature although I'm not sure.

Thanks val46 for your reply. That's a good hint and I try find out whether the error is created by the new feature.
I also tried another way. I decreased the mesh quality and chose a very low value for minTetQuality. Now the error didn't appear but the the generated mesh was not usable. I guess the problem could also be a matter of finding the right parameters for snappy... |
