Hi Foamers,

I am working on the Waves2foam package, and trying to add an (floating) object inside the geometry of the standingwave case using snappyHexMesh. Then I met a few problems. One problem that I am dealing with is as below.

I want to modify the 'alpha1' file to increase the size of the internalField due to the result of snappyhexMesh, but i have no idea what's the rule for creating an alpha file or if it can be created automatically. Is there anyone who can help? Thanks in advance.

It's lucky that I already know what's the problem and solution.
