Hi everyone,

I am an undergraduate student studying CFD.

As I am not much familiar with the field and the program Pointwise,

I have no idea about how to manage the problem that I recently encountered.

I am trying to generate a mesh with a 5-bladed propeller.

It has two domains (inner and outer) as I want to use sliding mesh method.

Therefore, there are 3 groups of surface meshes,

one is outer domain surface, (unstructural)
another is interface between the domains, (unstructural)
last is propeller blades. (structural)

I succeeded on generating empty block of inner domain and filled outer domain block, however, I can't initialize inner domain mesh with error messages "points are too close or coincident" and "point could not be inserted."

Those points are all located on the interface.

I am wondering if the interfacial points are really problematic, then how could I generate a mesh of outer domain which includes the points on the interface?

Could anybody help me for this circumstance?

If necessary, I can offer the pointwise file through an e-mail.

Thank you so much in advance.
