Problem with overset mesh

daniel1030 · January 11, 2015, 18:12

Hello

I am trying to create a simple simulation with a DFBI body flowing in a pipe. I am using Overset mesh to achieve this, and when I initialize the overset interface an error comes up saying "Failed to cut hole in region Part1.
This might be due to an overlapping of overset regions or due to invalid mesh configuration!". I already searched about this error and found some possible solutions, but no matter how fine I make the mesh, I cannot seem to be able to resolve this error.

Could anyone give me some suggestions?
Also if anyone is able to help me through skype it would be appreciated.

Thankyou

Try making the mesh the same size in both the DFBI body and the outside. And make sure there is at least 4 cells between the body and the wall.
