Hi Angelo,

Based on you figure, I would say you have inconsitent vertices and/or blocks.

Please double-check them.

Jose

Hello Jose, thanks for help, I already took a look, but I can not identify the errors, you could help.

thank you

Angelo

arc 3 0 (0 -1 -1.414214)
arc 12 13 (0 1 x)
arc 15 14 (10 1 x)

where x about equal to -1.6 (from testing, no time to check the exact geometrical value, you should do that)

Hello we managed to get the mesh, the more checkMesh says that the mesh is not orthogonal, can someone help with this part.

The mesh is below.

Thank you.

Angelo

Friend,
Try using salomne tool to generate geometry save it in STL.binary and import that using discritizer tool and set up your case using it. Both Salomne and Discritizer are free tools ( OS linux).

Sorry, but could not help your issue directly.
Regards
CFDkid

Hello and thanks for helping, I have a friend who is already using more discritizer my teacher wants you to do in blockMesh.

how do you import the STL file OpenFoam? you can do a step by step?

Angelo

I think this discussion goes against any forum rules… even if anybody was willing to help you, nobody can probably understand what's going on here…

Did you manage to get your mesh? Probably yes, but you're saying checkmesh is reporting some errors (or maybe just warning), so, why don't you post your errors instead of your blockmesh?

hello craft,
What you said is right, one needs to post error or warning message of OpenFOAM.
Also this is high time to bring to notice these facts given at bottom of this thread.

http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/ope...-get-help.html

Another matter i would like to get informed about is that, should we discuss use of Salome, Discritizer ?
As these tools help to abstract some of the complications and once problem is set we are free to work in OpenFOAM.

regards,
CFDkid
