Creat a Patch with zero size
 

Dear foamers ,

I want to creat a patch with zero size in the boundary file...
I know that creatPatch utility doesnt do it...

any utility??:confused:

Thanks and best regards ,
Sasan.

Hi

Here's an example of an empty patch in the boundary file:

The wall is empty, no cells or anything.

Hi Abdulhaq ,

thanks for your reply ,
But I want to know how can I creat this patch?
I think adding this patch manually in the boundary file is wrong because I dont know anythings about startFace....
correct me if I am wrong...

Thanks,
Sasan.

If you notice the start face for the inlet is the same as the empty patch (wall), so just take the starting face for any patch.

Why do you want to create an empty patch anyway?

You need empty patches for the attachDetach modifier, so that's one usage. Just remember to update the number of patches at the top of your boundary file, otherwise your solver will crash.

Also, it seems safest to add empty patches at the start of your boundary file, in my experience.

Dear Marco,

Thank you very much.
your guess is correct I want it for attachDetach modifier :D
I got it.

thanks ,
Sasan.
