  Hello,
  
  I am working on meshing a 3D Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine for use with sliding mesh.
  
  As I mesh the blades, there are areas that cannot mesh properly.
  
  I have tried edge and face sizing for the turbine blade areas to try and increase the resolution in the area, but it does not fully mesh. What strategies can I use to mesh the full blade properly?

  Check the geometry is valid then try allowing smaller minimum size cells: you need to resolve the shape.
