Deal all:
I used pointwise 18.0 to generated a structured mesh for an airfoil. Before the renumberMesh step, checkMesh shows everything OK. Checking geometry... Overall domain bounding box (-19.5 -20 0) (40 20 0.01) Mesh has 3 geometric (non-empty/wedge) directions (1 1 1) Mesh has 3 solution (non-empty) directions (1 1 1) Boundary openness (-1.56059e-20 1.84567e-20 -1.24096e-14) OK. Max cell openness = 1.70443e-14 OK. Max aspect ratio = 769.513 OK. Minimum face area = 9.93236e-09. Maximum face area = 2.29846. Face area magnitudes OK. Min volume = 4.96618e-11. Max volume = 0.0114923. Total volume = 22.0781. Cell volumes OK. Mesh non-orthogonality Max: 17.9459 average: 7.75933 Non-orthogonality check OK. Face pyramids OK. Max skewness = 0.461725 OK. Coupled point location match (average 0) OK Once the mesh was renumberMeshed, the severely non-orthogonal appeared. Checking geometry... Overall domain bounding box (-19.5 -20 0) (40 20 0.01) Mesh has 3 geometric (non-empty/wedge) directions (1 1 1) Mesh has 3 solution (non-empty) directions (1 1 1) Boundary openness (-4.05965e-20 -9.81742e-21 -6.8402e-15) OK. Max cell openness = 1.8775e-14 OK. Max aspect ratio = 769.5 OK. Minimum face area = 9.93262e-09. Maximum face area = 2.29842. Face area magnitudes OK. Min volume = 4.96631e-11. Max volume = 0.0114921. Total volume = 22.0781. Cell volumes OK. Mesh non-orthogonality Max: 86.2438 average: 8.62636 *Number of severely non-orthogonal (> 70 degrees) faces: 700. Non-orthogonality check OK. <<Writing 700 non-orthogonal faces to set nonOrthoFaces Face pyramids OK. Max skewness = 0.46166 OK. Coupled point location match (average 0) OK. How to solve this problem? Best regards! Michael |

Hi,
What is your writeFormat and writePrecision? |

Dear Alexey:
Do you mean the "writeFormat" and "writePrecision" of pointwise to polyMesh? I used pointwise to generate a 2d airfoil mesh, and extrude it to 3d with 2 cells in the spanwise direction. Then I set the BCs. Export "CAE" to a polyMesh (openfoam mesh) which can be copied directly to the constant folder. Or do you mean there is "writeFormat" and "writePrecision" of renumberMesh? Best regards! |

Hi,
I mean writeFormat and writePrecision, which are in your system/controlDict. By default in tutorials it they are usually "ascii" and 6. And if you have mesh with small elements precision 6 is not enough (and this is usual reason for this non-orthogonality issues after renumberMesh - https://bugs.openfoam.org/view.php?id=2228). |

Non-orthogonality check OK. <<Writing 34 non-orthogonal faces to set nonOrthoFaces Face pyramids OK. Max skewness = 0.7423785989 OK. Coupled point location match (average 0) OK. I am getting the issue of non orthogonality. I am using ansys workbench for meshing. Can you help me to resolve this issue? Thanks in advance .. |
