Prism Options in a Hybrid Mesh for a Helicopter

This tutorial demonstrates some prism options in a hybrid tetra/prism mesh for a helicopter.


Note:  The far-field used in the tutorial is smaller than normal to reduce the runtime.

This tutorial demonstrates how to do the following:

  • Prepare the geometry for meshing.

  • Set up mesh parameters.

  • Generate the starting tetrahedral mesh.

  • Generate prisms using the ICEM CFD post-inflation process.

  • Generate prisms using the Fluent pre-inflation process.

  • Modify mesh parameters on a part-by-part basis.
