Hi!

The new snappyHexMesh includes feature edge handling which may significantly improve the quality of your mesh.
http://www.openfoam.com/news/snappyH...ature-edge.php
Now my problem is that I need to perform my calculations on an older OpenFoam-Version 1.7.1 where this feature is not supported, yet. So I tried to create the mesh with version 2.0.0 and then use the mesh in Version 1.7.1. Unfortunately the new version 2.0.0 stores faces in a compact list "faceCompactList" which is not recognized in 1.7.1 where only "faceList" is known.

So my question is:

Does anybody know, how to deactivate the usage of faceCompactList and use faceList instead, so I can use the mesh in the older version 1.7.1???
Or maybe you have another idea to overcome this problem....

Thanks a lot

BTom

Hello! I'm very new to foam-extended. I'm trying to work there with a mesh I did in OpenFOAM v8. I see the .tar folder but I'm not sure how to use it, how to set it up in foam-extend 4.0 to get the utility to work.



Any help would be appreciated.

Make sure your OpenFOAM environment variables are set. Download the tar.gz file and copy it to $WM_PROJECT_USER_DIR. Untar the file and edit Make/files, changing

Code:
EXE = $(I_DIR)/bin/compactFaceToFace
to

Code:
EXE = $(FOAM_USER_APPBIN)/compactFaceToFace
Run wmake in the compactFaceToFace folder. It may be necessary to add additional libraries to the Make/options file. In my case it was.

Code:
EXE_INC = \
    -I$(LIB_SRC)/finiteVolume/lnInclude \
    -I$(LIB_SRC)/meshTools/lnInclude

EXE_LIBS = \
    -lfiniteVolume \
    -lmeshTools
After compilation, you should be able to run the app compactFaceToFace from within the desired case directory.
