Set material before mergeMeshing

brunomramoa · July 3, 2019, 13:15

Hello,

I am new to the OpenFoam world and currently have a problem that I would like to have solved. So, I have the following situation:

I want to merge two meshes[not obtained via blockMesh] where I want to assign different mechanical properties [density, E and nu].

How can I assign one material to each case so that I can use mergeMeshes to merge them both ?

Best Regards

So, I solved this by doing the following:

1- mergeMeshes both meshes;
2- regionsCellSets;
3- setSet -batch batch.setSet:
4-setsToZones;

Afterwards the material properties of each zone were defined under constant/ mechanicalProperties
