We have an exciting announcement about badges coming in May 2025. Until then, we will temporarily stop issuing new badges for course completions and certifications. However, all completions will be recorded and fulfilled after May 2025.

I have a highly wrapped blade and a design with internal passages that cannot be meshed in Turbogrid. How can I prepare a sector geometry that will minimize the high skew mesh elements in ANSYS Meshing or ICEM?

      With sector geometry, it is always good to keep in mind that the periodic planes are arbitrary be placed anywhere, so long as the periodicity of the geometry is observed. For wrapped geometries, these planes can be set normal to the tangent of the outlet. Some analyses may have restrictions that prevents the sectors from being created in this way, but for most analyses, it greatly improves the mesh by eliminating the acute angles that would otherwise exist in a geometry with passage-centered periodic planes.
