Hi everybody,

I'm currently simulating a radialturbine. While Meshing the TurbineBlade i noticed that TurboGrid meshes the blade not within the Geometry Zone defined by BladeGen (see Picture). The Mesh is shifted to the right. Is that normal?

Thanks for the responses
Daniel

that is normal, but having that much domain rotating would create unwanted effects...

Thank you for you're reply Far. What do you mean by that much domain? It's just one blade passage of ten. Is there a better way to do it?

The Mesh is shifted to the right because you used default in turbogrid and this mean that at topology you use ATM method... you can change to Traditional with Control Points and the mesh will have the blade in the middle...
