I am having meshing issues. I am simulating an open wheel race car, and whenever I make my ground place cutting through my tires (to simulate the contact patch), it gives me a mesh error of “The mesh could not be generated. Increasing the mesh fineness or adding local refinements to geometrical deta…

Got it! I needed to set the mesh quality to fine rather than moderate in my hex mesher settings. This ran the mesh without error, so now time to add proper refinements to the rest of the car

Hello Ricardo, I looked through that post and tried the most common solution of using the tire contact patch pads to simplify the intersection geometry, and that still seemed to not work. I still have the same error. The meshing log says, “Finished meshing without any errors Finished meshing in = 1…

If it helps, I am also noticing another weird phenomena. When I meshed the model with the ground plane not touching the tires, I got a significantly higher amount of cells, about 2.5million without any refinements (just used as a test to see if I got an error or not). But, when I have the ground pla…

Hi, I’d suggest checking this older thread as a starting point: Velocity field is diverging at a point - #2 by Ricardopg
