Dear all,

I'm working on a 3D mesh using the Batch Mesh Manager. I've already worked my way around layer and volume meshing in rather simple 3D geometries but reached a dead end. I'll try to explain the issues I have in a general way, I can provide files and more detailed information if that helps.

I'm facing two problems:

1. When I try to output mesh data to FOAM, I find that patch faces aren't there (I have one inlet and one outlet which should appear in polymesh/boundary). The patch faces appear in PID's tab in ANSA; everything seems as the catalyst tutorial.

2. When working on a more complex geometry (where layers are collapsed or excluded), volume mesh generation fails (error message "Errors in volume boundary definition"). However, if I don't generate layers, volume mesh is OK. I've checked the auto-generated volume and it seems fine.

Any ideas will be welcomed!

Thanks!
