About splitting the mesh area

[Hanzhou Mao]

Hello,

I've split the mesh as shown in the picture below.

The burning bloc+surface is also split in the same way at the same X coordinate.

The mesh size on either side of the meshed area are the same.

Would you say that splitting that way could heavily influence the results? Should I stick just stick to having one big mesh area instead?

Thanks,

HM

I do not see the attached picture.

Sorry, there you go!

Sandia validation cases involves meshes that split the burner area.  https://github.com/firemodels/fds/tree/master/Validation

So it is allowed.

Thank you so much!

I'm feeling relieved now.
