However, my average skewness is 0.20 and my average orthogonal quality is 0.79, which I think is pretty good. <\/p>\n<p>Whenever I run dynamic mesh, my simulation fails either because skewness exceed 0.95 or orthogonal quality goes below 0.05. <\/p>\n<p>Is there a way I can refine just the elements that have high skewness or low orthogonal quality? Or do I have to refine the entire rigid body? I&#039;m using proximity and curvature to ty to capture the sharp radii of the rigid body, but there&#039;s still a few stubborn elements:<\/p>\n<div class=\"embedExternal embedImage\">\n<div class=\"embedExternal-content\">\n<a class=\"embedImage-link\" href=\"\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/forum-uploads\/920\/BEK2AVUEGEK7.png\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"embedImage-img\" src=\"\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/forum-uploads\/920\/BEK2AVUEGEK7.png\" alt=\"image.png\" \/><br \/>\n<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-159237","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_author_ip":[""],"_bbp_view_count":["13303"],"_bbp_likes_count":["0","0"],"_bbp_forum_subforum_count":["0"],"_btv_view_count":["717"],"_bbp_subscription":["244539"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_status":["publish"],"_bbp_topic_id":["159237"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27792"],"_bbp_engagement":["25","170170"],"_bbp_voice_count":["2"],"_bbp_reply_count":["3"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["181314"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["181314"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2021-06-08 11:41:56"]},"test":"sugarl14"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/159237","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/159237\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=159237"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
