best way to mesh partial sphere inside a cube

Coreform Cubit Meshing
#1

Hello,

What is the best way to get structured mesh for a partial sphere inside a cube? I tried to follow the tips and tricks article csimsoft.com/partialsphere.jsp but couldn’t get a good mesh. after the split with cylinder I get narrow surface message when I run checked diagnostics.

Thanks in advance, Ranjeet.

The geometry:
reset
create sphere radius 6.5 ypositive
create brick x 15.5 ypositive
move Volume 1 y -1.5 include_merged
move Volume 2 y 7.75 include_merged
subtract volume 1 from volume 2 imprint

Ranjeet,

For this model, would the Sweep mesh scheme work using surface 9 and 10 as the source surfaces and surface 7 as the target surface?

Yes it works! Thanks.
