  I have set the inflation option over a wing (see figure) and near the leading edge suddenly all the layers start disappearing one by one. The boundary option I have selected ALL the faces, including obviously the leading edge so I do not understand what is happening and how can it be solved. I tried different inflation option ( pre, post, different layers, etc...) with the same result.

  I've closed the other thread to avoid confusion. nAre there any warnings in the Meshing tool regarding stairstepping? What settings have you got on the inflation mesh? n
