Hello all,

 

I would like your expert opinion about the surface mesh I am trying to perform on the curved areas of a simple wing (leading edge). Since I would like to export the mesh for a CFD analysis, I am trying to mesh the surfaces with 'trias' elements. However I am not happy with the mesh on the leading edges which exhibit a high curvature. I know the result will be better with 'quad' elements, however as I mentioned before I would like 'tria' elements on my surfaces. The 'surface deviation' option meshed the surface (as per attached example) but with too many elements.


Can you please have a look on the attached model (note: HM version 10)? Thank you in advance for your assistance.

    The use of 'R-trias' elements of the right size does the trick...
