Hi everybody,
I am new of OpenFoam and I am trying to do a very simple geometry with blockMesh. I am trying to build an half of a cylindrical duct (180 degrees) and for this reason I divide my cylinder in 4 sector. I write my blockMeshDict and it works but automatically OpenFoam creates 3 default Faces corresponding to the divisions between the sectors and I don't understand why.
I put here my blockMeshDict (there are only three sector in this version but the problem is the same.
I feel a bit stupid asking so simple thing but any idea would be very appreciated.
