[Commercial meshers] CfxToFoam

tutlhino

Hey all,
I'm currently working on a comparison between cfx and openfoam. Therefore I need the meshes in both formats. Therefore I build a mesh in icemCFD and converted it to cfx4 as it was said to be the best way. The conversion of the mesh worked, but just gave little errors about patches:

...
Default patch type set to wall
--> FOAM Warning :
From function polyMesh::polyMesh(... construct from shapes...)
in file meshes/polyMesh/polyMeshFromShapeMesh.C at line 573
Found 94 undefined faces in mesh; adding to default patch.
Checking mesh
Number of non-orthogonality errors: 0. Number of severely non-orthogonal faces: 18.
--> FOAM Warning :
From function primitiveMesh::checkFaceSkewness(const bool report, labelHashSet* setPtr) const
in file meshes/primitiveMesh/primitiveMeshCheck.C at line 838
Large face skewness detected. Max skewness = 493.014 percent.
This may impair the quality of the result.
12 highly skew faces detected.
Failed 1 mesh geometry checks.
Failed some mesh checks.
Writing polyMesh
End


The Problem now is that I've got the mesh in the openFOAM format, but the patches aren't defined in 'boundaries', although I though I did this in icemCFD and therefore should appear also in oprnFOAM!? Do I really have to search manually for the faces for all boundaries and fill them in?

Cheers
