Hi all,<\/p>\n

I am currently meshing a model of a gas turbine blade with a thermal barrier coating, which contains layers of 0.1mm and 0.6mm thicknesses. I am having trouble meshing the layers.<\/p>\n

I've tried general approaches where i set capture curvature\/proximity and make the mesh fine etc, but the thin layers result in far too many elements, making the model too large to solve. I've now tried thin sweeping methods for the thin surfaces, but im having no luck and am not too sure what the best settings are for my example. Ive shown an image of the thin layer (blade geometry not included) to give an idea of the thin geometry.<\/p>\n

I would ideally like to mesh with 1 layer of elements to reduce the model size. I somewhat achieved this with the automatic thin sweeping method, but it ends up with warnings and errors. Any help would be great. Thanks !<\/p>\n
