Re: Inflation Layers in Salome possible?

Hello,

I'm trying to mesh a 3D geometry. I would like to have a mesh which is similar to the one shown in the picture.
It is created by ANSYS with the option inflation layers (3 layers).
Is this possible to do in Salome?
Best Regars,
Richard

Hello,

It will be possible to define such inflation layer in the next release (V6.3.0). It will be called Viscous layer. The parameters will be :

• Total thickness
• Number of layers
• Stretch factor

It will be defined as an additional hypothesis for the following 3D algos: Netgen, GHS3D and Hexahedron.

Best regards,

Gilles

See attached screenshot as an example of viscous layers defined on tetra and hexa meshes.

Hello Gilles,

nice to hear that!

thank you very much for your fast answer.

Best  regards,

Richard
