Hi there,

I am generating a 2D mesh around an airfoil. I have tried several blocking ideas and generate structured mesh as attached image. But I want that the elements become perpendicular to the airfoil' face.

How should I do that?

Splitting the blocks into separate perpendicular blocks will help. You can watch this video for help.

Thank you very much for your reply.
I tried the mentioned procedure, but I am looking for an option or technic that can precisely make the elements perpendicular to the airfoil surface.
Now, the mesh improved but i am not sure they are exactly perpendicular or not.
