Hello Foamers,
is there a possibility to extrude a one-layer 3D mesh (almost like extrudeMesh does) in the direction where currently only one cell exists containing the structure of the boundary patches??? Currently if i use extrudeMesh from one patch it's not conserving my boundary patch structure, and i cant recover it. So the new cells should be all in different boundary patches (e.g. 6 for a box-bounded problem) finally... Thanks for your answer! |

In my experience this is not possible.
I use autoPatch to split the patch named 'sides' after using extrudeMesh. After that you can use createPatch to merge patches or create cyclic's. |

Hi Steven,
thank you a lot for your reply. It's working now with autoPatch. |
