Mesh Control and Periodic Boundary Conditions

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam


Are mesh control boundaries compatible with faces that are part of a periodic condition?

I have a mesh I'd like to optimize with the mesh control operations but so far I've noticed that if the mesh control operation has a face that lies on a periodic boundary the results become invalid - even though everything appears the same (geometry, periodic condition boundaries, mesh, etc.).

If I had to guess I'd say the periodic condition isn't being implemented in the mesh control face even when it resides entirely on a face that is in the periodic condition (you can't even see the mesh control face when selecting periodic boundaries).

Has anyone had success with using the mesh control operations with periodic boundaries?
