In this tutorial example, you will generate and smooth a combined tet/prism mesh for the volume region surrounding a general fin configuration, as well as for the surface of the fin. Using a mesh density region allows finer mesh control around the leading and trailing edges of the fin. After initial mesh generation, Laplace smoothing will be used to provide a more uniformly spaced mesh. Finally, the Hexa-Core utility will be used to reduce the element count in the main volume.
This tutorial demonstrates how to do the following:
Prepare the geometry.
Set up mesh parameters.
Generate the tetra/prism mesh.
Check and smooth the tetra/prism mesh.
Build the hexa-core mesh.
Save and exit.
