Is it true that in OpenFOAM you cannot create 2D elements?
I would like to simulate a radiator panel with 2D elements and assign to those elements some thermal attributes.
In OpenFOAMwiki (2D Mesh Tutorial using GMSH) I read
OpenFOAM by default only works with 3D mesh elements.
Is it true also for the lastest OF2.2?

additional info:
In this sail-boat simulation I read that they used GMSH too.
(slide 27) the elements of the sail are not directly created in openFOAM
they create the mesh of the sail with "Structural grid generation (surface mesh in 3D space) by gmsh"
then "Conversion from gmsh mesh to openFOAM dictionary by gmshToDict"
But is a paper of 2007. I was wondering if with newer OF releases is there a simpler way?
