Hello everyone,
I have a cylinder, a baffle surface, which I import in snappyHexMesh as a .stl file. This cylinder is immerged in a box (stl file too). Everything is going well with snappy except one thing : the cylinder presents few holes, each hole delimited by a "free edge". When I'm using the surfaceFeatureExtract tool, I'm not able to extract only these free edges in the eMesh file. But when I activate the option "export obj files", there is one file with these edges only. So my question is : is there any way to extract only the free edges ? By converting the obj file into eMesh maybe ? Thank you. NB : I'm using OpenFOAM-2.2.2. |

Well, if anyone is wondering the same thing, one can follow this :
1) enable the writing of obj files 2) call the surfaceFeatureExtractDict 3) launch this command : Code:
surfaceFeatureConvert ./extendedFeatureEdgeMesh/mySTL_externalEdges.obj ./triSurface/myFile.eMesh |
