No sign of convergence

in this project i have been trying to run a cfd simulation and i think my mesh is wrog can some one look for me.
“copy new truck wind” is the proect

Hi @sjay

I think it is better to add boundary layers on surfaces of a floor and a car body.

Hi @sjay,

If you look at the meshing log you will notice this.

Your layers are not being generated. You will need to move to the other meshes where there are layers (check the log as well) or use the parametric option.

i tried to mesh with layers early nd i saw that box behind got a leak and meshed inside

Hi @sjay,

Then you clearly need to fix your geometry in CAD before uploading.

Cheers.

Hi @sjay

How about using ‘GAMG’ for pressure solver.
You are using ‘Smooth solver’ in your simulations.

When I changed p Solver from ‘GAMG’ to ‘Smooth solver’ in my project, that convergence plots got wrong as shown below.

The ‘GAMG’ solver for pressure works fine in my project.
