Hello everyone,

 

Is there any guideline as to how to mesh complex parts (e.g. engine block) which are not easily mappable? is there a procedure which will make it easy?

 

Regards,

Bharat

    For complex geometry, hexa mesh maybe can not done.

    The working procedure is rather simple:

    Original Part => Split => Got splitted parts

    Foreach splitted part {

    If 'Mappable' then

    OK

    Else

    Split & Check again

    Endif

    }

    If you got unmappable part at the end, you can not do hexmesh with your initial part.

    Here're some ideas:

    1. Tet10 meshing
    2. Mixed meshing (Text/Hexa/Pyra/Penta)
