[ANSYS Meshing] Cutcell + inflation - problem with inlet face

blowback · March 20, 2014, 07:01

Hello
How can I make inflation on the all faces without the inlet&outlet using cutcell meshing method? On the picture below you can see inflation, on the inlet, which is not neccessary.

I'm using version 14.0 of ANSYS Meshing. I have to use cutcell, because this method of meshing gives the best hexa dominant mesh. Whole geometry is shown below. The problem is with inflation. It doesn't matter what option of inflation I set up, boundary layer is very thin. I think the problem is inflation layer created on front and back face - do u know how can I remove it?

On the picture is shown only mesh which was done at small piece of whole geometry

I solved my problem. Named selections for inlet and outlet face were needed.
