The misaligned boundaries result in a sawtooth-like pattern at the solid-fluid boundary because the mesh is Cartesian by nature, which is seen in the attached images. This produces unphysical results in my CFD-simulation.<\/p>\n<p>Is it possible to mesh using something like inflation layers in Icepak to generate a neat surface on the inclined surfaces? Or maybe it is possible to make a mesh consisting of different zones? I tried different techniques such as turning on\/off O-grids, stair-stepped meshing and different Mesh types.<\/p>\n<div class=\"embedExternal embedImage\">\n<div class=\"embedExternal-content\">\n<a class=\"embedImage-link\" href=\"\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/forum-uploads\/038\/THMDV0I8DDE3.png\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"embedImage-img\" src=\"\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/forum-uploads\/038\/THMDV0I8DDE3.png\" alt=\"Straight and inclined geometry with hex-dominant meshing - no mesh visible.png\" \/><br \/>\n<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-168080","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry","topic-tag-ansys-icepak","topic-tag-fluid-solid-interaction-1","topic-tag-icepak","topic-tag-icepak-thermal-1","topic-tag-mesh-generation"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_btv_view_count":["288"],"_bbp_likes_count":["0"],"_bbp_subscription":["252720"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_status":["publish"],"_bbp_topic_id":["168080"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27792"],"_bbp_engagement":["118","252720"],"_bbp_voice_count":["2"],"_bbp_reply_count":["1"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["210679"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["210679"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2022-04-05 14:44:44"]},"test":"madsafhotmail-com"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/168080","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\/168080\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=168080"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
