Hello friends my question is how to check quality of mesh generated using CFX? PLZ reply.

There are several metrics related to mesh quality (Jacobian, element elongation, aspect ratio, minimal angle). I'm not sure whether CFX has some of these metrics implemented or not but you could use the CFX-post to export an Ensight file with your model, read it in Paraview (http://www.paraview.org) and use the "mesh quality" filter. It could be easily done...

Hope this help

cheers

Renato.
