Reply To: When to use and not to use face mapping ?

[Deepak]

Hi,

Face mapping is helpful when a face can be split into a regular grid of shapes, which improves mesh quality and accuracy in simulations. If the results from face mapping aren't trending as expected, it might mean that face mapping wasn't suitable for that specific geometry or analysis.

In summary, use face mapping when you have a face that is mappable and when the resulting mesh quality meets the requirements of your analysis. Avoid using face mapping when the geometry is too complex for a structured grid or when the mesh quality does not meet the necessary standards, even if the face appears mappable.
