New to CFX-need explanations about mesh parameters

November 23, 2006, 10:56

Hi all, I'm new to CFX and I'm working on a wing.

I set up some parameters to resh a face of the volume with these parameters: Relative error 0.09, Minimum edge: 5, Maximum edge: 20, Radius of influence: 0, Expansion factor: 1.2. The problem is that I have to make a report, and I don't know how to explain why I've chosen relative error instead of constant, what does means radius of influence...

(I've chosen these parameters just with the feeling, trying differents settings, and stopping on a "not too bad" one.

Here is my mesh: http://img88.imageshack.us/img88/9420/08mesh4ew0.png

could you help me to explain what these parameters mean for the mesh ?

Thank you very much !!

I don't have it (I'm a student, and the teacher is not so good...)
