gmshTofoam pbm with cyclicAMI
1 Attachment(s)
Hello,
I am trying to simulate a Savonius turbine in 2D with OpenFoam. I need it to rotate and thought about using the "cyclicAMI" BC.
I created my mesh using Gmsh. The geo file is enclosed : "profile2D.geo". The mesh generates correctly.
My problem arises when i try to gmshTofoam it.
Code:
Starting to read mesh format at line 2
Read format version 2.2 ascii 0
Starting to read physical names at line 5
Physical names:8
Surface 1 Sides
Surface 2 Inlet
Surface 3 Outlet
Surface 4 Walls
Surface 5 InterInt
Surface 6 InterExt
Volume 7 InterInt
Volume 8 InterExt

The first warning is normal : it affects all the faces with no physical name to default patch. But then, there are a bunch of :

and in the end, the boundary file sets an nFace=0 to all subsequent boundaries.
I first tried to put
Code:
Geometry.AutoCoherence = 0;
in my .geo file to avoid coincident surfaces to be merged by gmsh.
Then I tried to define the two surfaces in contact with a different number of point through "transfinite".
I found a post about an error to gmshTofoam ( http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/ope...eset-gmsh.html) but the solution give there did not work either.
