Oh yea, I nearly forgot... :eek:

You can also set a max size and min size on parts. Previously, I was talking about the global Max and Min.

If you set them on parts, they work similarly.

If it is working for you in ANSYS Meshing and giving you acceptable results, then why go anywhere else?

Only switch over to ICEM CFD (with its steeper learning curve, broken out process, etc.) if...

You mentioned that you generate tetra/prism mesh in one step... You click that "prism" button, so it goes from geometry to tetra prism in one compute step.

I usually do not click that button. I...

Not sure why decreasing the mesh size (max size) would help... Don't have time to look into that now either.

Running separate steps is fine... It will take your tetra mesh and run prism... The...

1) Hexa is certainly doable, but I would not consider this a good case for your first hexa model. You need to work your way up to this level.

2) changing the mesh size (particularly increasing...

Small changes in mesh count should not significantly affect your Fluent results. If you found that they did (same model, just meshed a second time), you probably need a finer mesh or other changes...

So this came into ICEM CFD from an AGDB file? Interesting.

In ANSYS Meshing, they have the concept of the solid. This gives it some advantages with geometry like this.

Why not use ANSYS...

Oh yea,

You best bet for an easy mesh is to try and get a cleaner version of the geometry. Where did you get it? If it was IGES, can you get ACIS or some other higher format? Maybe native CAD...

Hey Ehab,

I took a look at your model, specifically that particular part where you were having problems.

More on Single/Multiple Edges...

Multiple edges just means that a shell element edge has more than 2 elements attached. Single edges means that a shell edge has only one element attached.

These are only "possible problems".

1) No, multiple edges should be expected in this model.

2) 0.25 is fine. Smoothing it could probably bring it up, but anything above 0.1 will run without any problems in Fluent.

3) I will...
