[ICEM] Help for meshing - ICEM CFD

StevenWillson · May 26, 2014, 02:37

Hey Guys,
I am new to meshing and came across this geometry. Have been stuck with it for days now.

It would be really great if someone could help me out with it.

I need a structured hexa mesh

And I work in ANSYS ICEM CFD

Thanks

Can't you bring some changes to the geometry ? you have sharp edges, expect bad elements !

I am having problems with the blocking itself.
Can you help me out with that?

start by blocking that box only, create the necessary o-grid and then extrude following the two extremities (up and down). This is how I will do it. But you cannot have a good meshing with those sharp edges I suggest tetra mesh or a change to your geometry
