I am having a issue with regards on generating a 3D surface mesh on the leading edge of the airfoil for an aircraft I've designed. I've tried looking into the help manual to resolve this problem but I am a complete novice on using STAR-CCM+ so it hasn't helped much. The problem is that the automated mesh of the airfoil is supposed to be curved but it generates a very rough representation of the surface which is not ideal for when I apply the solvers.

I've tried playing around with the surface curvature and the type of surface mesh used, such as polyhedral, tetrahedral and trimmed cell mesher but the mesh scene still looks roughly the same. Is there anything else that I am missing that I haven't done yet?

The attachments below are the geometry scene and the mesh scene to see the differences between the two, where I would ideally want the mesh scene closer representing the geometry scene.
