Hello,
I found that when trying to smooth the 2D mesh of a 3D structured mesh for a mesh with high aspect ration, it begings to break the cells. here can be seen, before/after/after zoomed:
an example of this:
issueSmoothingAlgo.hdf (603,0 KB)
Is it possible to modify the smooth of two directions while keeping the third one (height of the thin cells) fixed?
F.
Very interesting question, I’d also be interested to know whether there is this option available.
Hello @giovanni.medici , this behavior at least it is mentioned in the documentation (first note):
Depending on the chosen method and mesh geometry the smoothing can actually decrease the quality of elements and even make some elements inverted.
at the moment of my post I didn’t saw this note of the smoothing. from my tests, I couldn’t get to smooth in one direction, but it is possible to fix nodes by IDs which can be handy sometimes.
Thanks, I see!
Possibly sometimes is not possible/straightforward, but could it be an option to actually split the volume on the GEOM deck so to have a face/edge to force/guide the mapping?
