I am trying to set up inflation for the mesh for both the cylinder and the surrounding fluid but whenever I select the cylindrical faces of the cavity within the fluid for the solid cylinder the following mesh forms. It seems to invert the direction of the mesh. Is this a setting that I need to adjust or is my geometry unsuited for inflation meshing?&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/03\/27-03-2023-1679952489-mceclip1.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/03\/27-03-2023-1679952515-mceclip2.png\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-276690","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry","topic-tag-inflation","topic-tag-meshing"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_subscription":["272851","199"],"_bbp_author_ip":["96.7.74.191"]," _bbp_last_reply_id":["0"]," _bbp_likes_count":["0"],"_btv_view_count":["824"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_status":["publish"],"_bbp_topic_id":["276690"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27790"],"_bbp_engagement":["199","272851"],"_bbp_voice_count":["2"],"_bbp_reply_count":["9"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["277321"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["277321"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2023-03-31 09:11:10"]},"test":"lin1641purdue-edu"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/276690","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\/276690\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=276690"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
