Problem with topoSet and FaceZone creation

Hi,
I'm hoping someone might have come across this before and found the solution! I'm trying to use topoSet to create two faceZoneSets inside and outside of a circle, I'm working in 2D and just using the basic cavity tutorial to work out the right method. The goal is, once topoSet haas worked, to create Baffles in order to create an AMI interface. Note that the createBaffles and mergeOrSplitBaffles commands seem to do what I expect. basically I have created a square mesh by editting the blockMeshDict file to give me a mesh big enough to play with. I have created a .obj cylindrical geometry file for use with surfaceToCell directive in my topoSetDict. I have built up the topoSetDict file slowly checking at each step that things have gone as I had expected them to go. I have seen the cellSet created inside and outside of the cylinder using foamToVTK -cellSet <setname> and then viewing in paraFoam. I also used checkMesh to double check that nothing was going wrong there. Things start going wrong when I try to create the final faceZoneSet. I have created an error log for this. Note that if I try to use setsToZones -noFlipMap instead of using the faceZoneSet directives in topoSetDict things SEEM to go OK until I createBaffle then use checkMesh and I find that instead of getting 2 zones (inside and outside of the cylinder) I get multiple regions reported. I have attached a log of this checkMesh result too. I have attached my topoSetDict, blockMesh, createBaffleDict, .obj file and an error log from the topoSet run and checkMesh. All zipped up. I hope someone can help me! Best Regards Andrew |
