Problems with ICEM

Problems with ICEM

Hi guys!

I had a problem with ICEM and I think you can help me.

I designed a geometry using OpenSCAD and exported a .stl file. In ICEM I deleted the surface and extracted the curves for new curves, my objective with this was to delete a part in the geometry.

So I recreated the surfaces with the curves and started generating the mesh, but I was having issues with negative elements. When I investigated, I saw that when recreating the surfaces, ICEM generated almost overlapping curves, disrupting the mesh.

My geometry is a cylindrical geometry.

Has anyone gone through something similar? What's the best way to get around this situation?

P.S.: In the first image we have a piece of geometry with a curve having different connections. When zooming in, we can see two curves, almost overlapping.
