Hi,
I am performing 2D axisymmetric simulation of flow in pipe. I prep the initial mesh in gambit and have aligned the axis to the X-axis, prepared a simple Quad Map mesh and then exported a 2D mesh. After importing it in Fluent, i checked the mesh and the minimum volume was +ve. I switched on axisymmetric mode under solver, then again checked mesh, it shows a -ve volume. What can be the reason? |

For axisymmetry you should make sure the radius is non-negative, otherwise negative volumes may be created.
