Are you dealing with (like a pipe) or external flow (like aerodynamics)?

If your model has small gaps, thin channels, or sharp curves, a global mesh might smooth them out. Right-click > Insert Local Mesh .

The mesh breaks your model into small cells (voxels). In the 2012 version, the slider is the best place to start. Level 3 or 4: Good for initial runs. Are you dealing with (like a pipe) or

At least one Surface or Volume Goal is defined to track convergence. Mesh is refined locally around small geometry details.

Is there at least one inlet boundary condition and one outlet boundary condition? [Enable Add-in] ➔ [Run Wizard] ➔ [Check Geometry]

Refine the local mesh at areas of high velocity changes. Double-check unit conversions in the wizard.
