Ansys Meshing - Multizone + Inflation + Face Meshing
Written by cfd.ninja
Face Meshing forces a structured, mapped pattern on a surface instead of letting the mesher fill it freely. On a circular or rectangular face it produces regular rows of quadrilaterals, and that order then propagates into the volume when the face is used as a sweep source.
Used together, the three controls cover different jobs: MultiZone decomposes the volume and fills it with hexahedra, Face Meshing keeps the key surfaces regular, and inflation resolves the near-wall region where the gradients are steepest. Set the first inflation layer from your target y+ using the Y+ calculator.
Automatic inflation is the shortcut when you have prepared Named Selections beforehand, since the mesher can then pick the wall boundaries for you instead of selecting them face by face.
In this tutorial you will learn how to generate a structured mesh using Ansys Meshing. We will use Multizone + Inflation + Face Meshing.
