How to create a trapezoid volumetric control?

Felipe Campos · May 22, 2018, 12:36

Hi guys,

I want to create a volumetric mesh control around the kelvin's wake in a high speed boat and the shape I need is of a trapezoid, but the software only allows me to create rectangular boxes, which will generate refined mesh in a region much greater than I need. What can I do?

You can create it in CAD software and import !!! Or spend large time in 3D_cad in Star-ccm+.
