In particular, refining the outer domain mesh of 10mm cells to where it meets the inner domain mesh of 4mm cells. See pics. The second is the same area just zoomed in. I can apply edge refinement to the circle between the two domains but the refinement is applied to the interior of the circle. I have not been able to make it refine to the outside of the circle where it is needed. Is this possible?<\/p>\n<p>[I am using Fluent Meshing through a Workbench project so am not using the standalone Fluent with Fluent Meshing where watertight geometry meshing is had (hope that makes sense, Ansys is a bit confusing with all its softwares and similar namings etc). I prefer to not use Fluent with Fluent Meshing, if possible, considering the learning curve and the short time remaining in my university class.]&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>-Nate&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/12\/04-12-2023-1701712936-mceclip2.jpg\" width=\"685\" height=\"356\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/12\/04-12-2023-1701712950-mceclip3.jpg\" width=\"685\" height=\"360\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-320625","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_subscription":["18237","15180"],"_bbp_author_ip":["23.206.193.154"]," _bbp_last_reply_id":["0"]," _bbp_likes_count":["0"],"_btv_view_count":["255"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_edit_lock":["1701712633:231659"],"_bbp_status":["publish"],"_bbp_topic_id":["320625"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27792"],"_bbp_engagement":["15180","18237"],"_bbp_voice_count":["2"],"_bbp_reply_count":["5"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["326558"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["326558"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2023-12-06 05:12:07"]},"test":"nate-kuenzistmartin-edu"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/320625","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\/320625\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=320625"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
