Hey Foamers,


I did a mesh using CfMesh.
Than I tried to improve it using "ImproveMeshQuality".


In the end, I had a worst mesh.


Here you can see the checkMesh file:


before:

Max cell openness = 7.35622e-16 OK.
Max aspect ratio = 29.7317 OK.
Minimum face area = 3.92408e-13. Maximum face area = 1.47856e-07. Face area magnitudes OK.
Min volume = 1.60163e-18. Max volume = 3.43724e-11. Total volume = 3.3578e-06. Cell volumes OK.
Mesh non-orthogonality Max: 84.9321 average: 12.8083
*Number of severely non-orthogonal (> 70 degrees) faces: 309.
Non-orthogonality check OK.
<<Writing 309 non-orthogonal faces to set nonOrthoFaces
Face pyramids OK.
***Max skewness = 4.04614, 2 highly skew faces detected which may impair the quality of the results
<<Writing 2 skew faces to set skewFaces
Coupled point location match (average 0) OK.

Failed 1 mesh checks.



after:

Do you have any idea in waht is wrong?


Thanks a lot,
Carlo

I am seeing something similar - a lot more non-orthogonal faces.
