Difference between general mesh and CFD mesh

Difference between general mesh and CFD mesh

Difference between general mesh and CFD mesh

(OP)
In ANSA, there are there types of mesh. General mesh, CFD mesh and solid structural mesh. For the solid structural mesh, it is already clear to me. I know CFD mesh is for fluid analysis
But what is the difference between general mesh and CFD mesh when creating a surface mesh on an object?

RE: Difference between general mesh and CFD mesh

As far as know CFD mesh algorithms are more focused an the boundary layer an have more options to influence the mesh there.

Let say i only need to mesh only a surface of a part. Theoretically if i use CFD mesh it will not affect anything since surface mesh does not have the wall boundary layer, is that right?

RE: Difference between general mesh and CFD mesh
