I would like to import multiple meshes (solid and air parts) into an OpenFoam simulation. I have briefly played around with using the snappy mesh feature but was curious if i could use Salome (or other mesh software) to mesh my various objects separately and then bring them into an OpenFoam case. Any advise on this topic would be appreciated.

Thank.

Hi Thomas,

i am not sure it works, but I am putting some effort on it based on the chtMultiRegionFoam/snappyMultiregionHeater. I made and meshed a coumpound geometry in Salome and export it as .UNV.

Then:

1- UNVToFoam your_mesh.UNV
2- splitMeshRegions -cellZones -overwrite

This seems to create folder similar to the chtMultiRegionFoam/snappyMultiregionHeater case.

Well I still have to work on it, change the dictionary ....

But this could be the start point. If I do any progress I will let you know , probably during X-mas holiday

hope it helps

Jean

Jean,

I am curious if you ever found out if this process worked? I have recently (again) tried to create compound geometry mesh and convert it into openfoam with ideasUNVToFoam but have been unsuccessful. What process did you use to create the compound mesh? I am using the 'Fuse' then 'Partition' features and finally meshing the whole assembly and creating sub-meshes of each individual part.

Here is the process which I have been using for meshing multiple parts in Salome, http://www.caelinux.org/wiki/index.p...ters/partition.

[thomasnwalshiii]

I was finally able to import an assembly mesh into OpenFOAM format with the following Salome>Gmsh>OpenFOAM process:

-Using Salome:
1. Within the Geometry module explode surfaces needed for Boundary Conditions and renamed them
2. Fused all parts together into a single assembly
3. Partitioned this assembly using each of the parts included
4. Created 'Volume Groups' for each partitioned part
5. Move to the Meshing module and mesh the whole partitioned assembly (optional: make sub-meshes of the parts to better control mesh sizing)
6. Make 'Volume Groups' of each part within the mesh
7. Make 'Surface Groups' for all the boundary conditions
8. Export mesh as MED file (need to check 'Automatically Create Groups' box)

-Using Gmsh
9. Open mesh file in Gmsh and 'Save As' Gmsh mesh file (.msh file extension, make sure file is saved as Version 2.0 ACSII and un-check all check boxes)
10. Move Gmsh mesh file into an empty case file (make sure to have constant->polyMesh (empty) and system folder with necessary files)

-OpenFOAM mesh conversion/manipulation tools
11. Run [>> gmshToFoam] in OpenFOAM terminal within the case directory
12. Run [>> splitMeshRegions -cellZonesOnly -overwrite] (this is only used if there are multiple parts (volumes) to be split up)

The following two links talk about this process:

Hi,

i want to mention that there seems to be a way to directly export from salome to openfoam.
http://pythonflu.wikidot.com/hybridflu

Ivor Clifford
http://www.openfoamworkshop.org/6th_...ord_slides.pdf (=>slide 19"Meshing section") mentions that direct in memory Salome2OF mesh writing via pythonflu supports meshes that ideasUnvtoFoam does not support

Hi Thomas,

Sorry for the late response i was in holiday :-)
yes I was able to do it. If you need more details let me know it.

1. Create the fluid and solid domain in Salome in the geom mode
2. explode the solid and the fluid domains in faces
3. mesh the solid and the fluid domains separately and create for each domain group of the faces of interest, for example inlet, outlet … and don't forget to define the faces of the solid and fluid that will be in contact
4. in mesh mode build a compound mesh with the 2 meshs (solid and fluid).
5. Export the compound mesh in UNV format

OpenFoam

1. use ideasUnvToFoam to export the mesh to OpenFoam
2. splitMeshRegions -cellZones -overwrite → this create 2 region.
3. adjust the file boundary, fvschemes, fvsolutions ...

Hi Jean,

this is probably too late but how do you define on Salome the faces of the solid and fluid that will be in contact?
I can convert the mesh to openFoam and it automatically separates into the different regions but I don't have the shared boundary.


Thanks in advance,
João

i have done this procedure exactly and i when i run the mesh in parallel, i get:

mpirun has exited due to process rank 10 with PID 15509 on
node ubuntu exiting improperly. There are two reasons this could occur:

1. this process did not call "init" before exiting, but others in
the job did. This can cause a job to hang indefinitely while it waits
for all processes to call "init". By rule, if one process calls "init",
then ALL processes must call "init" prior to termination.

2. this process called "init", but exited without calling "finalize".
By rule, all processes that call "init" MUST call "finalize" prior to
exiting or it will be considered an "abnormal termination"

This may have caused other processes in the application to be
terminated by signals sent by mpirun (as reported here).

does anyone one know what the problem is? because when i open the 0, constant and processor folders after running

decomposePar

, i see points files

thanks

thanks

[thomasnwalshiii]

I haven't tried this in so long. I think I was still using OpenFOAM 1.6 at the time, so I'd assume that there is a formatting error in the converter tool that doesn't match up to what OpenFOAM 3.0 format needs. Just a guess without really looking into it. Maybe open up the files side-by-side with some from a working test case. Does it work if you don't run it in parallel?

[esujby]

Hello Thomas,

I have tried running on single processor however, i didn't get any result. will give it a try again. and update, i am currently trying the https://github.com/nicolasedh/salomeToOpenFOAM script.

kind regards

Nas

[wyldckat]

Greetings to all!

@Nasir: What does this command give you?

find . -type f | xargs ls -l

I ask this because this will tell us the complete list of files and where they are located in your case. This way it is possible to diagnose if there is a region naming problem.

In addition, the output from splitMeshRegions and decomposePar is also important.

Best regards,
Bruno

Thank you very much for you continuous support Bruno.

Kind regards

The file is identical to the previous file you attached, therefore something went wrong in the steps you did.

Either way, I believe I've figured out the problem. You need to run decomposePar like this:

decomposePar -allRegions

This is exemplified in the tutorial script "heatTransfer/chtMultiRegionFoam/multiRegionHeater/Allrun".
