Mapped Face Meshing and Edge Sizings for a Swept Mesh for a Thin Annulus
4-1
Goals
This workshop will illustrate the use and effect of a Mapped Face Meshing control for a Swept Mesh to enforce a radial number of divisions across the width of a thin annulus An Edge Sizing is also set for edges on the Source and Target faces to help generate a high quality mesh

Specifying Geometry
1. Copy the elbow.agdb file from the files folder to your working directory 2. Start Workbench and double-click the Mesh entry in the Component Systems panel on the left 3. Right-click on Geometry in the Mesh entry in the Project Schematic and select Import Geometry/Browse 4. Browse to the elbow.agdb file you copied and click Open 5. Note that the Geometry entry in the Project Schematic now has a green check mark indicating that geometry has been specified

Initial Mesh
10. In the Mesh settings, set the Physics to CFD and the Solver Preference to Fluent. Expand the Sizing and Statistics entries 11. Set the Mesh Metric to Skewness and generate the mesh 12. Note that there is only one element across most of the annular thickness and the skewness is relatively high
