ICEMCFD Master Class (Level 2)

Create the geometry of a circular cylinder with a top hemisphere and a surrounding domain in SpaceClaim, then build a control volume enclosure for flow analysis.

Hide specific faces in SpaceClaim to inspect inner geometry and define boundary conditions by creating named groups for inlet, outlet, and bottom, preparing geometry for ICEMCFD meshing.

Learn hex meshing in ICEM CFD by preparing blocking for a cylinder: create a master block, associate edges and points, snap geometry, and split the blocking to expose the geometry.

Create and align blocking for a cylinder geometry, perform four side and top splits, and generate a hex mesh with prematch parameters ready for export.

Master exporting an ICEM CFD blocking mesh for a CFD solver, converting blocks to a usable mesh, and defining inlet, outlet, and wall boundary conditions before exporting to CFX.

Learn how to create named selections in ICEM CFD instead of SpaceClaim, and define geometry, blocking, and boundary conditions for flow simulations with match file output for CFX.

Explore creating geometry directly in ICEMCFD, including circles and hemispheres, as an alternative to SpaceClaim, and learn about surface generation, revolutions, and editing trade-offs.

Learn to reuse blocking from case one on a modified geometry by importing and replacing geometry, then adjust and align the blocks with offsets to maintain consistent mesh for comparison.

Reuse and adapt blocking for new geometry in ICEM CFD Master Class (Level 2) Case 2 to preserve mesh consistency and enable direct design comparisons.

Learn to import multiple geometries, compare different cases in one figure, and create transparent, color-coded visuals for papers or presentations.

Mesh a circular cylinder with a hemispherical top in a rectangular domain using symmetry to avoid angle of attack, optimizing resources for the simulation and preparing imports, inflation, and boundaries.

Learn to create blocks on a geometry, apply blocking, align edges, configure meshing parameters, and refine the mesh with prematch and solid body operations for a robust CFD domain.

Learn how to build a hex mesh for aircraft geometry by applying targeted blocking strategies to fuselage, wing, and aerofoil regions, ensuring curvature-aware, high-quality meshing.

Identify association problems in icemcfd by verifying projections of measures onto surfaces and edge-face alignment. Learn to fix by reassigning faces to the correct surfaces and using selective face choices.

Use the mesh edit edge command to improve mesh quality by excluding problematic elements and adjusting a control point on the added edge to shape the geometry.

learn to fix mesh issues by correctly associating edges and curves to surfaces during prematch visualization. avoid misassociations that turn edges green and misplace surfaces.
