ICEM CFD Introductory Course-Mesh Preparation and Output to Solver



•To diagnose mesh associativity problems
–Errors – most likely to cause problems in:
•Solver translation
•Solver input
•Solution convergence/run
–Possible Problems – “Unclean surface mesh”
•Unwanted elements
•Unwanted holes/gaps
•May result in incorrect solution 
–Can check any combination of errors/possible problems at any one time
•Individually select
•Click on Error or Possible Problems tabs will select all options in column – selecting again will de-select all
•Set Defaults will select most commonly seen/detrimental diagnostics
–Check Mode
•Create Subsets – creates a subset of elements that fit each criteria
Check/Fix Each – offers automatic fixing of indicated problem

•If Create Subsets was selected
–Will go through all checked criteria at once
–Elements that have a particular error/problem are put into a subset with that diagnostic type name
–Subsets activated in Model Tree
•Turn off all parts or shells to view subsets
•If Check/Fix Each was selected
–Will be prompted with options one criteria at a time
•Fix:  Automatically fix the error/problem
–Recommended only for Duplicate Elements, Volume Orientations, Periodic Problems, Overlapping Elements
•Create Subset
•Ignore

–For example, multiple edges may be legitimate t-junctions; single edges – legitimate free edges
