ANSYS ICEMCFD Hexa Basic course (Part 2)

Introduce meshing two concentric cylinders using a 3-D blocking strategy, handle a small y-direction, and compare deleting blocks normally versus permanently to control mesh connectivity.

Master hex meshing for a 2d concentric piping model by creating and splitting blocks in ICEM CFD, applying blocking strategies in the flood domain, and removing unused blocks.

Prepare the geometry for 3d concentric pipes by blocking and refining edges and curves, then set boundary conditions and pre-mesh parameters, spacing, and node counts across edges.

Block the 3d concentric pipe geometry, delete extraneous blocks, align inner and outer blocks at one level, and refine the blocking to improve mesh quality before exporting for Fluent.

Set up and refine the 3D premesh by configuring edge spacing and node counts, projecting edge shapes for uniform meshing, and validating the premesh for export to fluent.

Export a 3d hexa mesh for a 3d case, convert it to an unstructured mesh, set boundary conditions in fluent, and inspect mesh quality to diagnose geometry issues.

The lecture demonstrates using existing blocking from ws 12 for ws 13, copying 3d blocking, using blocking from the workshop, adjusting edges and associations, and verifying a clean pretty mesh.

Describe the problem geometry with dimensions and boundary conditions, use symmetry to model half the page, and discuss potential supersonic flows and upcoming ICEM CFD meshing.

Create geometry from a GMAT file, build blocking with key points and edges, apply symmetry and boundary conditions, then run premesh, compute, and export the mesh.

Complete the assignment for workshop 15 by starting from a corner as the origin, proceeding north with the given dimensions, creating part names, and saving the file in the environment.

Explore meshing strategies in ICEM CFD for airfoils and wind turbines, using a four-case blocking approach from top view to 3d domains, including sharp or cambered trailing edges.

ANSYS ICEM CFD hexa basic course part 2 teaches blocking for a square trailing edge in a rectangular domain using two methods with point splitting and edge association.

Reuse blocking and domain shape from an S809 airfoil for a NACA 4412 case by merging geometries, importing GMAT files, and using marching to align domains and edges.

Block refinement in this video teaches splitting the trough geometry along leading and trailing edges, adjusting red and green sections, and nudging vertices toward the draft geometry to improve quality.

Assess and boost mesh quality by using the blocking quality icon with 2x2x2 and angle criteria, identify sharp corners, convert to linear shapes, and adjust vertices to raise minimum angles.

Learn to export ICEM CFD hex meshes and remove errors by editing edges to automatic linear, tuning quality with angles and aspect ratio, and fixing uncovered edges for Fluent export.
