Hello,

Trying to mesh a boat but the prism layers are retracting on the head of the boat where they have no reason to. Increasing the layer reduction percentage somewhat solves it but this is the best i got so far with 85 percent which is the limit. What might be the problem here?

Use surface remesher before trimmer

it's already activated in mesher models. do you suggest doing that seperately?

[slesar85]

No, of course, there is no difference. Just some people make a mesh without remesher.
Try then remesher+Advancing layer mesher. But the mesh will be built long.

Thats one of the first things i've tried. Although it did resolve the issue, the cell count went up by a lot since i need to refine the free-surface and polyhedral cannot be refined anisotropically. Guess i have to do something else. Thanks for the answers.

Cheers,

Building a mesh over what looks like a sharp curve is a great challenge. Is that a symmetry plane? You may have an easier time generating the layers if you just put prisms over the symmetry plane as well. Projecting prisms to a symmetry plane at such an obtuse angle will nearly always give you these skewed cells.

yes, it's a symmetry plane. Thanks for the advice, i will try it out.

You must define symmetry region as symmetry plane before generate mesh.

I agree to what you said above. But the prism layers are automatically generated on wall type boundaries. Why they move to symmetry plane?
