Mesh subdomains separatedly

Hi, I have imported a geometry from Solid works, and I have around 20 subdomains. The liquid passes through around 6 subdomains, the rest are impermeable (there is no mass transfer, but there is reaction and electronic transfer, but at the beginning, for simplicity, I only want to simulate the liquid movement, without taking into account the rest of the geometry.

For meshing, there is an error (Error 4130) which says that "impossible to respect geometry edge" In subdomain 2 and sometimes subdomain 3.

I would like to mesh each subdomain separatedly, but when I go to window "Free mesh parameters", and inside to "Subdomains" and select the subdomains, I specify the mesh parameters and Remesh, and all geometry is remeshed. I do not know how to remesh ONLY the subdomains selected.

Could anyone please help me?

Thank you.

Hi,

Have you tried to use the button "Mesh Selected" instead of "Remesh". I think it should solve your problem.

Have a nice day,

Alois

I did it in a different way, from the Interactive Meshing --> Mesh selected, which is the same; your option is shorter one.

Thank you !

Hi

in V4 you should mesh in steps by selecting the items by groups depending on their position and shapes, and adapt the "size" and or mesh type/structure per group.

Global automatic meshing of many doamins often leads to meshin errors like that

Good luck
