Baffles01 - createPatch & createBaffle

Objective: test cases for using following dicts:
  • createPatchDict
  • createBafflesDict

Preliminary steps:
  1. Run the Salome script for the geometry and surface mesh generation
  2. Export walls, inlet outlet inside cad/stl as STL (ASCII)
  3. Run the utility buildRegionSTL, it will create the constant/triSurface folder with buildRegionSTL.stl
  4. Export the interna mesh as interna.stl inside constant/triSurface

************Set up the SHM dict file for create Patch (highlights) ********
Code:
geometry
{
    "regionSTL.stl"
    {
        type triSurfaceMesh;
        name regionSTL;
        regions
        {
            inlet
            {
                name inlet;
            }

            outlet
            {
                name outlet;
            }

            walls
            {
                name walls;
            }

        }
    }

    "interna.stl"
    {
        type triSurfaceMesh;
        name interna;
    }

};

castellatedMeshControls

    ....


    refinementSurfaces

            {
                inlet { level (1 1); patchInfo {type patch;}};
                outlet { level (1 1); patchInfo {type patch;}};
            }
        }

        interna
        {
            level (3 3);
            faceType baffle;  
            faceZone interna;
        }

    }

    ....

    allowFreeStandingZoneFaces true;
}

snapControls {    .....     }

addLayersControls {    .....     }

  meshQualityControls {    .....     }
