Mesh

...

The first thing we are going to need to do when the mesher opens is specify the thickness of the airfoil walls. In the Outline window, expand Geometry and select Surface Body. In the Details window, change the thickness to 0.01 m. We also need to specify the material. In the Outline window. In the Details window, select Material > Assignment > Al 6061-T6. The material has now been specified.

...

To apply a mapped face meshing, first click on Mesh in the Outline window. This will bring up the Meshing Menu Bar at the top of the screen. Next, select Mesh Control > Mapped Face Meshing. Select the 2 faces of the mesh by holding down the left mouse button and dragging over the entire geometry. In the Details window, click Geometry > Apply - it should say 2 faces are selected.

...

In the details window, select Geometry > Apply, and select Type > Number of Divisions. Change the Number of Divisions to 50. Also, change Behavior > Hard.

Next, create another Edge Sizing, and this time, select the 2 edges at the very front and very back of the airfoil that run along the wingspan, as the picture shows:

...

Again, in the Details window change the settings such that Type > Number of Divisions and Behavior > Hard. This time, change the Number of Divisions to 20. Generate the mesh by selecting Mesh > Generate Mesh.
