Problem keeping unstructured domain on database

All:
I am attempting to create an unstructured surface domain for an iced airfoil. I imported a *.stp file that has ~500,000 triangular elements. When I build the domain on the database, most (~80%?) of the resulting triangles are directly on the domain, as you would expect. The remaining triangles go "through" the database, and link to other vertices on the domain. I've attached a picture. The triangles in question tend to form along the boundaries of the domain. Here are some steps I've taken, and what I've observed: 1) Enforcing a max angle (5-10) doesn't help, but does increase the number of triangles. 2) Enforcing a max deviation (0.001-0.04) doesn't help, but does increase the number of triangles. 3) Pointwise appears to ignore the max/min edge length. When I put them as ~1.0 the maximum edge length in the domain ends up to be ~33 (!!) and the minimum edge length is ~1e-3. 4) Delaunay triangulation is much more robust in keeping triangles on the database than advancing fronts. Any advice/tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! |
