Meshing with Fluent Mesher

In the "Update Regions" section of the FLUENT Mesher, the named selections may not transfer over properly from SpaceClaim in newer versions of ANSYS. It is recommended that you double check which regions are which by mousing over the region you are selecting, and ensuring that the "blade_wall" region is set to "dead".

We have had some issues where when creating the volume mesh, we get an error that says "Please fix the overlaps along multiconnections..." This often occurs in the setup of periodic boundary conditions, where remeshing can create issues with the sharp trailing edge of the blade. Use clipping planes to verify that this is the source of the problem, and then edit the periodic boundary condition setup. Change "Remesh Asymmetric Mesh Boundaries" from "auto" to "no", verify that the trailing edge is unaffected by the remeshing, and then continue.
