My problem is when I tried to follow the directions, I got something incorrect, so I&#8217;m not sure of the exact process.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>What I want to do is create a mesh of a relatively simple shape, with the surface faces on the top and bottom having an identical geometry. I don&#8217;t care in that regard whether its tri&#8217;s or quads, but the mesh on the top and bottom needs to be identical.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>I have a figure I will attach to show this process.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>What I did was try to enforce periodicity by angle, because since those surfaces are parallel I thought it would be the easiest option. I then meshed with octree meshing, and although the meshes were similar on the top and bottom I still had some problems around the edges.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Can you offer some advice on how I can get those surfaces to have identical meshes?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-28261","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_old_topic_id":["427"],"_bbp_old_topic_author_name_id":["Anonymous"],"_bbp_old_is_topic_anonymous_id":["false"],"_bbp_old_closed_status_id":["publish"],"_bbp_author_ip":[null],"_bbp_old_sticky_status_id":["normal"],"_bbp_likes_count":["0","0","0","0","0"],"_btv_view_count":["374"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_status":["publish"],"_bbp_topic_id":["28261"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27790"],"_bbp_engagement":["14986","154768","154942"],"_bbp_voice_count":["3"],"_bbp_reply_count":["2"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["55388"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["55388"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2017-11-02 19:44:18"]},"test":"bhenry4"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/28261","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\/28261\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=28261"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
