[ICEM] Removing extra faces generated while splitting block

Nima Shah · April 11, 2022, 16:25

Hi all,
I want to mesh a venturi tube with ICEM with sweep 3d blocking. While splitting the main block and removing the extras, some unwanted faces are generated. How can I remove those, because this results in some edges that will remain unassociated?

I think it is just a matter of refining your blocking strategy.

Maybe split the block horizontally before the two vertical splits, and instead of splitting all blocks, just select the one above the horizontal split.

Thanks, dear aero-head. I solved it as you mentioned.
