[ANSYS Meshing] Min. orthogonal quality with zero number of elements?

fjtb · April 18, 2018, 02:47

Hi! While checking the orthogonal quality of my mesh, I found out that there are no elements corresponding to the minimum value of the orthogonal quality (see image below). Is this normal? And what does this imply? Thank you in advance to those who will answer

Hi, based on the legend for the plot, there seems to be atleast one Pyramid element (leftmost in the plot) close to the displayed min quality. What is the quality for that element showing as?

Hello! Thanks for replying. The leftmost bar (the blue one which is supposed to be a pyramid element) is actually the one with the yellow label. It's just weird to me that ANSYS Meshing is showing the "minimum ortho quality" bar yet it shows 0 element count. Or maybe there's a reason for this, which is something I don't know?
