Hi Foamers,

I would like to know what is the signification of locationInMesh, how would go about specifying it? (how do I compute it?)

I have case where I need to generate mesh around an Industrial Fan (like a ceiling fan but Industrial). I have given all the parameters in snappyHexDict appropriately but the mesh generated doesn't acknowledge my surface (Fan .stl file) is a wall.

in boundary i have

Fan
{
type wall;
nFaces 0; // why 0??
startFace 80894;
}

you can see nFaces is 0.

I am attaching my snappyHexDict. I have closely followed the defaults of (for blockMesh and snappyHexMesh dicts) incompressible/pimpleFoam/pimpleDymFoam/propellor.
