Dear colleagues,

I am currently trying to create 2D structured quad mesh between 2 surfaces (upper - cylindrical surface and bottom - flat surface) as you can see on the picture 1 given in attachment. Minimum gap between these two surfaces is 0.0001 mm.

Highly structured mesh with quad elements is desirable type of the mesh because I am planing to apply dynamic mesh on the cylindrical surface. This type of the mesh is also recommended in the literature on which I am relying for this project. For my project, I need to get mesh as it is shown on picture 3 given in attachment, with perpendicular vertical mesh. I tried to use O grid but without success. In my opinion, I can not use O grid and the problem must be with matching the bunching between two sets of edges.

Dear colleagues if anyone have some suggestions I would be very grateful.

Best regards,

Prikane

Dear Prikane!
First of all try to change mesh law on bottom edge. There are dozen of variants and I honestly can't say which one you should choose but my best guess is between Poisson and ReferenceMesh.

Dear Kirill_Makarov,

Thank you for your help. I tried many different meshing laws but I can not find the right one. I tried also your suggestion - Poisson distribution but without any success.

Can you give me some advice how to use ReferenceMesh?

Thanks in advance,

Prikane
