Hello everybody,
first of all thanks for reading. I really need some help because I am stuck with my project. Please. So I have been doing a hexa mesh for a wind turbine blade in a slice of air volume(120 deg). I got something, but I don't know if my method is right. I don't have the hub, just the blade. Basically I kind of followed the 'hexa wing body tutorial', therefore I started creating a box round my geometry, then I split bocks in order to creat a small block around my blade. Then I created a new part (SOLID) selecting the block around the blade. After that, I split this last block in more horizontal blocks; each split was created for every airfoil in the blade. Then I simply associated verteces and edges to curves and points of each (lke a 2d airfoil). See pics. Is this a right method to do this? In the pics I showed this method but I only did a few splits of the SOLID block but I did that for every every airfoil. Thank you very much, help would be really appreciated as I am really stressing out :S |
