Hi all,
I used Gmsh to create a very simple mesh, a cube, which has 3 boundary types, then I converted it using gmshToFoam and I got this warning:

--> FOAM Warning :
From function polyMesh::polyMesh(... construct from shapes...)
in file meshes/polyMesh/polyMeshFromShapeMesh.C at line 577
Found 1222 undefined faces in mesh; adding to default patch.

When I loaded the mesh in ParaView it was ok. Then I loaded it through FoamX and i saw in my geometry 4 patches, the 3 I defined and defaultFaces. Where is my error? please can anyone give me a hint? Can you explain me what is the meaning of these faces? Are them the internal element faces?

If you need I can send you my file, I don't know how to upload it (maybe someone could explain me how to do it?).

Thank you in advance,

Best regards

Francesco

The defaultFaces are all the boundary faces that have not otherwise been assigned to a particular patch. Assuming that they correspond to some walls that you did not explicity define, you'll likely wish to change them from 'empty' to 'wall' in constant/polyMesh/boundary

[T.D.]

but it is not logic to change them to walls, is there any better idea to get rid of these "defaultFaces" ?
thanks
