Meshing Problem

      Hello, I am trying to simulate a wind turbine on Fluent with a rotating domain that contains the subtracted shape of the turbine and a static domain that contains the rotating one.

      However, there seems to be a problem with the meshing. I made sure that the geometry is clean using SpaceClaim, and I tried different sizes for the mesh. I also tried different methods (patch conforming tetrahedrons, multizones, and sweep), but the issue still persists. I always get the error "One or more entities failed to mesh. The mesh of the bodies containing these entities may not be up-to-date." I believe the issue is in the rotating domain only because it is the one showing a failed mesh (yellow region).

      Any advice would be appreciated.

      The blade surfaces are very curved. Split that single blade surface into 5 to 8 surfaces. Also make sure you have using correct sizing.
