[ANSYS Meshing] problem with mesh quality

yaseen wsu · April 18, 2016, 11:25

hello everyone
I simulate free surface flow my geometry complex, so I divided into eight parts. sweap method used in ANSYS meshing for swepable bodies and tetrahedron and multizone method for others, but the problem is skewness which is 0.966 (max), I tried by sizing but I can not reduced it. Who can suggest me to improve my mesh quality.
thanks

sizing is the best way to reduce your skewness and improve quality.
Please post your mesh where you are getting high skewness.
You can use behavior "HARD" in sizing

thanks for your reply
my geometry is complex, some parts finer than others, what due you mean by(HARD) in sizing?
the follow is my meshing model, thanks for your suggestion, max. value of skewness in the tetrahedron part

When you use sizing in Ansys Meshing, the 'behavior' can be 'Hard' or 'Soft'. By selecting soft, you are allowing Ansys meshing to over-ride the sizing, because it thinks that it can give you better mesh by NOT obeying the sizing you input.

Do post pictures of the mesh and model.

use lower size elements where you need fine mesh and make sure you use behavior "Hard"

I strongly suggest to refer to Help section, read it thru
if you dont get your answer then search for similar threads on this forum
and even after this if you dont get your answer then only post a question!!

I am sure you will get help from help section.
