Hi,

I am fairly new to ICEM and I am trying to generate a mesh for a rectangular geometry with a tube going through. I generated a surface block and applied O-grid block on the tube surface, then proceeded to do a 2D-3D Sweep. From the attachment, it is generating an octagonal mesh instead of a circular one at the end of the tube. What do I need to do to fix this?

Thanks

George

you are not associating edge to curves

Thanks Far, I'll check my associations!

This did it, Thanks!

Although I thought I did do the associations. It was interesting when I went back to the ICEM file where I posted the attachments to try to redo all the associations, there were no curves showing under the geometry tree? Is there a process that causes them to be deleted, or did I somehow accidentally delete them from the parts list?

Thanks again Far

may be curves are hidden or deleted accidently.

I have observed that after creating o-grid associations are released in versions 14 + . I think it is bug.

Thankfully I saved individual geometry and blocking files. I will need to learn more about ICEM. I think it's more powerful and I'm learning more about my generated mesh than Ansys Meshing
