[snappyHexMesh] TurbineSiting tutorial - adding analytical shapes to snappyHexMeshDict

awgomes · July 8, 2020, 10:00

Hi,

I'm working with OpenFoam 4 and the TurbineSiting tutorial.

I want to add a cylinder to the ground, like a wind turbine tower.
With the domain points and the ruler in Paraview I can analyze a good location.
But when I run Snappy, it apparently runs smoothly but my geometry doesn't appear.
Does anyone know the explanation for this? I'm using a searchableCylinder in the position as shown in the image.

Hi,

Could you post your snappyHexMeshDict? Is the searchableCylinder expected to be a solid surface? If so, have you defined it as such in the refinementSurfaces section?

Cheers,
Antimony
