I&#8217;m currently working on a project involving Fluent Meshing, and I&#8217;ve run into a bit of a challenge. In the Workbench environment, I&#8217;ve noticed that it provides a convenient graph to visualize mesh quality metrics. However, when working directly within Fluent Meshing, I&#8217;m finding it a bit tricky to pinpoint the location of bad mesh elements based on certain quality criteria.<\/p>\n<p>Specifically, I&#8217;m trying to identify areas in the mesh that fall below a certain quality threshold. In Workbench, I could easily generate a graph that displays the distribution of mesh metrics, making it simpler to locate problematic elements. However, within Fluent Meshing, I&#8217;ve only been able to find the minimum and maximum values for these metrics, without a clear visualization of their spatial distribution.<\/p>\n<p>I was wondering if anyone here could offer some guidance on how to effectively identify the location of poor-quality mesh elements within Fluent Meshing. Are there any hidden tools or techniques that I might be missing? It would be tremendously helpful if there&#8217;s a way to generate some sort of heatmap or graphical representation of mesh quality within Fluent Meshing.<\/p>\n<p>Since many of you have diverse experiences with meshing and simulation, I believe that your insights could greatly aid my understanding of how to address this challenge. If you have any tips, workarounds, or suggestions for how to achieve this, I would greatly appreciate your input.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you all for your time and consideration. I&#8217;m looking forward to your responses and learning from your expertise.<\/p>\n<p>Best regards,<\/p>\n<p>Paul<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-302782","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry","topic-tag-fluent-ansys-1","topic-tag-fluent-cfd-ansys-1","topic-tag-heatfluxfluentnaturalconvectionexternalflowansys-1","topic-tag-2d-cfd-1","topic-tag-3Dfoil-1","topic-tag-airfoil","topic-tag-fluent","topic-tag-fsi-ansysfluent-ansysexplicitdynamics"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_subscription":["288217","13659"],"_bbp_author_ip":["96.7.218.223"]," _bbp_last_reply_id":["0"]," _bbp_likes_count":["0"],"_btv_view_count":["5591"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_status":["publish"],"_bbp_topic_id":["302782"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27792"],"_bbp_engagement":["13659","288217"],"_bbp_voice_count":["2"],"_bbp_reply_count":["2"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["302917"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["302917"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2023-08-23 13:00:25"]},"test":"paulstephen20118gmail-com"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/302782","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\/302782\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=302782"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
