[ICEM] Problem with blocks in 3D Mesh

brator · June 25, 2013, 06:13

Hey everyone,

I don't know too much about this software but I have some problems. I fit 3 blocks into my bent channel in order to mesh it properly(getting some help from tutorials tho).

Please take a look at picture 1 to see how I fit the blocks. Then, when I generate the pre-mesh, it generates weird shaped mesh in the bent section. You can see that from picture 2. However, I want a mesh there as at picture 3.

Could you tell me what the problem is and how I can fix that ?

Thanks.

Nevermind. I fixed that. There was a problem with associations.

Hi brator,

I'm a bit confused because you are showing picture 1 different from picture 3. What do you really want to do? It seems an associated issue. Check your edge to curve association and even, if it´s necessary, make face to surface associations.

Hi FJSJ,

Thanks for the response. Sorry about the confusion, I just wanted to show what kind of mesh I wanted over the bent area. Picture 3 belongs to some other case.

Thank you a lot for the advise. As you said, there was an association problem with the edges. I reset the settings and associated them from beginning.

Cheers.
