yes i want to.

only one size function................

The only problem is between faces 133 & 139 (a combination of split and connect should fix the issue)

hi..
did as you told and got that error
"mesh of face.334 contain 1 highly skewed element"

-mAx- · November 15, 2012, 05:14

what are your parameters for your size fonction?

zaynah04 · November 15, 2012, 05:21

tet/hybrid, tgrid and 10

I used tet/Hexcore

sorry i misread.

0.03
1.3
1

-mAx- · November 15, 2012, 05:51

I used
1
1.2
20

zaynah04 · November 26, 2012, 06:05

hi
did you mesh the faces first?
and my PC is quad core with 16 Gb of ram..i still can not mesh it.

-mAx- · November 26, 2012, 06:08

If I meshed the surface then it is only building's surfaces.
What kind of error do you receive?

zaynah04 · November 26, 2012, 06:13

volume cannt be meshed without faces sucessfully meshed

-mAx- · November 26, 2012, 07:04

then you have skewed cells for sure, check where I pointed out (post #22)

zaynah04 · November 26, 2012, 10:08

i did of course as you recommended for in post#22...

still it says i have skewed elements...
sometimes it meshes then all freeze and i have to start again..

-mAx- · November 26, 2012, 10:28

go to examine mesh and check where are those cells.

zaynah04 · December 6, 2012, 06:38

dear max,

after i split n connect faces. i then mesh the faces using tri pave

then i mesh the volume.
attachd is the error i found.

can you please enlighten me ?

cheers

zaynah04 · December 6, 2012, 06:57

hi
what to do when we have highly skewed elements? it say my mesh has 63 highly skewed elements...;(

thanks

-mAx- · December 6, 2012, 07:54

fix those skewed elements.
First, check where they are, and try to find any topology which is responsible for the skewness

Hi,
I am trying to use two size function together but it seems doesnt work. my geometry is 3D I would like to have dense mesh y+=1 near the wall and at the same time to have coarser mesh in flow direction. it it seems like I am getting dense mesh near the wall but I got same mesh size in direction of flow. the other problem is gambit giving me problem with the memory!
thanks in advance!

-mAx- · February 20, 2013, 09:14

what parameters did you give for size function?

Hi max,
thanks for quick answer!
my geometry is 170 1500 190 in mm. first size function is 1 to 3 with growthrate 1.2. and y direction 3 to 8 with same growthrate.

thanks in advance!!!
