ANSYS cutCell method produced nonClosedCells
 

Dear OpenFOAMers,

I used ANSYS Workbench V14. The fluid domain was sliced into 3 pieces, then, "formed a new part". Then, I used cutCell method to mesh the domain, exported to fluent format.

Then, I used fluent3DMeshToFoam to convert the mesh to OpenFOAM format. Then, I used mergeOrSplitBaffles to merge some faces due to slicing in Workbench. When I did checkMesh, I got:

Checking geometry...

I am wondering if anyone experienced the same issue? And, is there a solution to this problem? Thanks!
