[ANSYS Meshing] How to create Quadrilateral mesh

b.shuvayan · October 29, 2012, 07:54

Hi everyone!

I was solving a problem in ANSYS (CFX fluid flow) work bench and found a problem. I created the geometry and after meshing I found that the system, creates by default the triangular mesh which has to be changed to quadrilateral mesh (as per my Project guide instructions)

. Can anyone please tell me how to change the triangular mesh to quadrilateral.

Any help would be appreciated.

You need some working Design modeller to make the map mesh. However this task can be done more conveniently in ICEM

But can it be done in CFX MESH itself?? If not than how can it be done in ICEM??

thanks for the advice

Okay!.. I just converted the triangular mesh to quadrilateral mesh. But it turns out that ICEM now is little bit different from CFX MESH, and I'm not able to create the inflated layers as I did in CFX MESH. any suggestions???
