Hi,

I'm a beginner in CFD and obviously in OpenFOAM.
I had a lot of problems trying to convert FLUENT and ANSYS meshes files generated with ANSA, therefore I started to create a problemtype in GID which can generate blockMeshDict files for OpenFoam.

With the hexahedras blocks there is not probles, because in the manuals there are a lot of examples of declarations of this kind of element, but I'm having dificulties with the prism and tetrahedras blocks.

Following the syntax of hexahedron block,
hex (0 1 4 3 9 10 13 12) (10 10 1) simpleGrading (2 2 1)

I'm writing the prisms elements like this
prism (0 1 2 3 4 5) (10 10 1) simpleGrading (2 2 1)

but blockMesh is printing an error message:
"There are no non-lineal edges"

I think that the problem is in the declaration of the prism block. If someone knows how to declare this kind of block and the other kinds of blocks, diferents than the hexahedron, please help me!!!!

Regards

Sebastián

This should be in documentation: Create a "hex" block, but re-use the vertices. For example:

hex (0 1 2 2 3 4 5 5)

Clear?
