Hi,
I want to simulate particles flow inside a nozzle and I need to view the particles that exit form the end of the nozzle. So I created the nozzle volume mesh and the cylinder volume mesh attached at the end of the nozzle to define the domain where particles come out. BUT I need to define boundary condition on the surface at the end of the nozzle (pression = 0 on the outlet). So I defined this surface like outlet_p in the geo file attached, but I have problems with it. it is a surface inside the volume mesh.

What happen when I run gmshToFoam at the msh file generated from Gmsh is this error message:

--> FOAM Warning :
From function int main(int, char**)
in file gmshToFoam.C at line 972
Could not match gmsh face 3(0 458 1) to any of the interior or exterior faces that share the same 0th point


then when I check the mesh with checkMesh this error appear:

Checking patch topology for multiply connected surfaces...

End


Please anyone can fix this issue??
Thanks a lot
