Hello All,

I was trying to convert a mesh of a hollow cylinder with three phases which is created in Salome to OF. I used ideasUNVToFoam, and it worked with the following warnings.

Of 1300 so-called boundary faces 500 belong to two cells and are therefore internal
Sorting boundary faces according to group (patch)
0: Inner_Barrel is cellZone
1: Inter_Barrel is cellZone
2: Outer_Barrel is cellZone
3: Barrel_Top is patch
4: Barrel_Bottom is patch
5: Walls is patch

Constructing mesh with non-default patches of size:
    Barrel_Top    300
    Barrel_Bottom    300
    Walls    200

Adding cell and face zones
 Cell Zone Inner_Barrel     500
 Cell Zone Outer_Barrel     500
 Cell Zone Inter_Barrel     500

End

I have no idea what is this warning about and whether I should do anything or not.

Does anyone have experience about this?

regards,
Sanoja
