[ICEM] Problem with meshing edges of a diamond airfoil

Mohsen_mtl · June 23, 2024, 12:51

Hello all,
I am preparing mesh for 5 blades with diamond airfoil.
I have five 3D blades with the same shape, same setting, and ..... All parameters are the same. I generated the mesh. As the attached image shows, the mesh is not the same for them.
to force the ICEM to follow the edge, I used curvature proximity-based. But it seems ICEM is not following the edge.

Do you know:
1- Why the mesh is not the same?
2- How can I force ICEM to generate mesh like the right blade? How to force it to follow the edge geometry?

Thanks

1) Make sure your geometry not only contains surfaces, but also contains curves
2) Define Thin Cuts. You can find them here on forum, or in the Help.
