[ICEM] ICEM pits in mesh

janiszmac · June 5, 2024, 11:11

Hello everyone,
I am trying to learn ICEM and I am looking for a reason of specific problem.
With more or less correct blocking, I can see a lot of pits in my mesh that shouldn't appear (please see pictures included).
Could you give me a tip what should be improved? I have checked other tolerances and slightly different blocking, but it didn't help much.
Thank you for all tips in advance

Does your geometry contain geometric curves? And are these associated to the edges of the blocking? Make sure this is the case.

Hi Gert-Jan,
After a doublecheck, I confirm that edges are correctly associated.
Could you think of any other reason of these pits?
I am working on mesh quallity (determinants 2x2/3x3/ ortagonality/skewness etc) but it seems areas with these pits have OK mesh quallity.
