Mesh Generation problem
1 Attachment(s)
Hi everyone
I am very new to openFoam. i tried to generate a rectangular capillary using blockMesh. and i created the structure but when i run checkMesh it is showing errors and i couldn't get them.
Below is the code for the mesh /*--------------------------------*- C++ -*----------------------------------*\

I specified boundaries as Inlet,outlet and walls(plateSurface).
I attached an image of the meshi created and also the faces that are common int the two capillary should merge. can anyone help me with the situation i'm in |
