Hello,
I went through ansys fluent dynamic meshing guide. It says remeshing can be done only on tetrahedral mesh. I still tried to implement it on hexahedralmesh. It works well. It is bit misleading for me that, when manual says it works for tetrahedral only. I din't encounter any problem. Am I correct in implementing remeshing on hex or wrong?
Many people implement smoothing and remeshing only on tet mesh. None did on hex, so I am confused.
Any lead or document or answer would be a great help.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Naveen
The User Manual that you read must have been from an older version of the Fluent, so as long as you find a functioning command that satisfies your requirement (without a glitch), you don't need to bother about the suggestions and guides.
Good Luck!
Hi there.
Don't worry about that. You are doing good job. The tetrahedral mesh take less computational time as compared to hexahedral mesh. However, you will get a more converged solution. In case you dynamic meshing, the more complex mesh will take more time. So, you have to check whether your result with tetrahedral mesh is a converged solution or not. Otherwise you can go for hexahedral mesh. If you have a good computational power in your workstation, go for hexahedral mesh. But keep mesh refining active.
When I was dealing with the numerical model of a micropump for blood circulation, I kept mesh refining, cause the blade of the micropump used to change its position with time.
