Hello Foamers!

I'm facing a meshing problem, for which I created a simplified demonstration: I would like to have 2 blocks next to each other with a face interface that looks like this:



I know that OpenFoam can handle multiple cells merging to a single cell from the meshes generated from snappy, From snappy Manual example:




However the resulting mesh from MergePatchPairs looks like this:



Is there a way to merge the two patches (as in, them being an internal face) without destroying the harmony of the geometry?

Thank you for your help

EDIT: I should have read trough this subForum before posting, feels like half of the posts here are about this issue... sorry
EDIT2: Yet i found no solution.....

There is nothing wrong with your mesh, it is just Paraview who renders it ugly. Click to enable polyhedra and you will see what you want!

Ah, it was just a visualization error then, i read a few threads where this fix was sugested but they were always concerning the vizualization of inner cells in a cut, so i failed to make an association.

Thank you very much!
