Hello,

I wanted to know if there is a correct way to know while in ICEM itself, that the mesh quality (when imported in fluent), will be good.

The reason is if the determinant 2x2x2 shown in ICEM are all > 0.2,
as per the ICEM manual, this tells me that the mesh is of good quality and I can export the msh file.

However, when I run a mesh quality in fluent, i get the min orthogonal quality in the bad regions of < 0.01

In icem, anythin related to ortho reads as "Max ortho" "Max ortho 4.3v", "min ortho".

Now which one of these should be looked such that min orthogonal quality of fluent also falls in the good region, and can be checked in ICEM itslef?

Please also suggest way to improve the quality metric.

Check the ICEM CFD definition for equiangle skew: that's a good metric for Fluent with hex & tet meshes.
