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).
