ParaView shows bad cells, checkMesh doesn't seem to notice.
3 Attachment(s)
Hey OpenFOAMers,
So I've got this mesh. blockMesh runs without errors and checkMesh does not report any bad cells. Viewing the mesh from the outside or from the inside (Cull Front Face) the mesh looks good, but then if I take a clip to look at the interior volume cells I can see some uglyness (See third image attached). Any idea whats going on here?
