Hi Pointwise Experts,

I am working on CFD simulation of axis symmetric problem using OpenFOAM as a solver and Pointwise a s a Meshing tool. I am attaching the geometry here for reference.

I am very new to Pointwise Meshing tool. I am looking for your valuable advice on this geometry to know whether Structured meshing is possible in this case or I should go for unstructured meshing.

(1)I want to make axis symmetric mesh for openfoam.

(2) I tried to make a simple axis symmetric mesh for cylinder using these steps..

* Made rectangle and created the connectors on it.
* Then I Created the dimensions on those four connectors.
* Created structured domain. Then I rotated the entire domain at an angle of 2.5 degrees using Edit - Transform- Rotate.

* I applied Extrude- Rotate command to rotate the entire domain at an angle of 5. degrees to make the Block.

* Applied all the boundary conditions like Wedge boundary conditions to front and back face.
* Exported the mesh using File- Export- CAE.



Can you please advise me how to mesh this type of complex geometry in Pointwise.

Regards
Gurpreet
