Hello
I was hoping some one can help me out, i am trying to simulate a fan in a fluid domain see picture. I have looked at the TjunctionFan example and as i understand it the fan has to be defined as a cyclic boundary condition. In my case I am importing a mesh from fluent, does the createbaffles and toposet still apply in this case. And if so how to i apply it to my model i have both ends of the fan defined as a patch currently. |

Ok so i am trying to make this work i have used Helyx for the initial set up, I then attempted to add in the fanPressure BC but i get the following error

I just noticed this one out there but I'm sure it's answered already. the fanPressure BC is actually derived from patch and not from cyclic. The error that you are seeing basically states that your base type defined in constant/polyMesh/boundary for jtf_inlet needs to be changed from cyclic to type patch. Then you can setup the fanPressure bc.
