Simlab Mesh Controls

Hi ,

I'm working on a CFD setup in SimLab involving an MRF (Moving Reference Frame) zone that is a thin solid region. I want to ensure 2 to 3 elements across the thin thickness using Region Mesh Control, while keeping the rest of the domain coarser.

My workflow is:

  1. Apply Body mesh control for entire MRF & Region Mesh Control to particular region (in the thickness) on the MRF zone(CAD)
  2. Generate Surface Mesh.
  3. Then generate Volume Mesh.

However, the fine mesh control seems to apply only to the surface mesh. When I generate the volume mesh, the refinement is not preserved across the thin region.

How can I ensure that my Region Mesh Control is properly reflected in both surface and volume mesh, especially for thin solids like MRF zones?

Thanks & Regards,
