Hi, I tryied to mesh prisms
 

Hi,
I tryied to mesh prisms in salome, in order to do a pseudo-2D simulaiton around an airfoil. When trying to convert to OF, with the last version of ideasUnvTofoam, i recieve the mesage:

Cell type 112 not supported
Read 0 cells and 4130 boundary faces.

and convertion stopped.
Any help please?

Do you use standard (which present in distr OF-1.4.1) ideasUnvToFoam or one from this forum (21.08.2007 by Mattijs Janssens) ? It seems to me, that this version works coorrectly.

Here's my latest. Should handle 112. Can you get back to me if it doesn't?

Hi,

Thank you Mattijs, this new version works fine
previously I used the one of 21.08.2007, and it was not handling cells 112

Hi Mattijs,

I've taken your ideasUnvToFoam.C file, then i put it in $HOME/applications/utilities/mesh/conversion/ideasUnvToFoam
on a shell I typed:

wmake

but I got some errors during the compilation, is there something I've missed?

Thank you in advance

Francesco

No that is all that is necessary. Perhaps do a 'wclean' before 'wmake'?

- Can you compile anything at all? Try compiling one of the other 1.4.1 utilities. If that does works post the errors.

Hi Mattijs,

I've tried to recompile icoFoam: from the directory ~/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.4.1/applications/solvers/incompressible/icoFoam$

I typed:

wclean

wmake

and I've got lots of errors, so I think there something wrong with my installation.

Errors are too much, so I report some of them, they are like this:

/home/area3/OpenFOAM/linux/gcc-4.2.1/bin/../lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.2.1/../. ./../../include/c++/4.2.1/cstdlib:106: error: '::div_t' has not been declared

I think there could be something stupid I've missed, I'm trying to understand what

Thanks in advance

Hi Mattijs,

It was a problem of Gcc 4.2.1, I didn't install all the packages, but only the base, I'm sorry for my stupid mistakes,

I have build a tetraeder mesh with salome3.2.6 and exported the mesh as *.unv file.
When I used ideasUnvToFoam to convert the mesh I got the following error:

I have made a mistake. I have build in salome3.2.6 the mesh with second order elements. These are of course not supported by the ideasUnvToFoam converter. I have no problems with linear elements.

Hi Stefan

Thanks for your comments

However the log that I sent you was for a test in order to see whats going on

I am appending the log for the unv that I am trying to import to OF

I will review in detail your comments in the manual

Let me know any comments

Cell type 118 is parabolic tet. See remark above about 2nd order elements not supported. Also your points are not output in consecutive order but this should not cause problems.

Hello Foamers/ Mattijs, I u
 

Hello Foamers/ Mattijs,

I used ideasUnvToFoam with the prism possiblity (type 112). The utility seems to work without errors. However, checkMesh returns errors with respect to faces with incorrect edgeFaces and nonManifoldPoints. The mesh domain is a one-layer axisymmetric domain. Problems seems to occur neer the axis, where some prisms exist. The incorrect edges seem to be diagonal edges running over 4-nodes surfaces.
http://www.cfd-online.com/OpenFOAM_D...s/mime_pdf.gif Snapshot.pdf
The attachment shows a snapshot from paraview, showing wireframe of the model and two of the erroneous patches. Diagonal edges are visible.Inspecting the unv mesh in either Femap (where I modelled and made the mesh) and in Salome does not show any of those features.
http://www.cfd-online.com/OpenFOAM_D...hment_icon.gif checkmeshlog
Attached the checkmesh log.
I tried to remove the erronuous faces using faceset and removeface but without succes.
I suspect this is a bug in the Unv converter. However there is of course also a possiblity that there is something wrong with my mesh. I am eager to send you my mesh.

Awaiting any comments,

Mark

Looks like something is wrong
 

Looks like something is wrong with your mesh. The converter expects a properly connected mesh. You might have two triangles (from one cell) on top of a quad (from a neighbouring cell) which is not handled. Load the duplicate faces into paraview and switch on point display.

It seems you're right. One fac
 

It seems you're right. One face of a hex is shared by two faces of two neighbouring tets, causing the diagonal. Thanks for your hint.
