How to merge the master and slave patch?

Hi guys,

I made a mesh by snappyHexMesh, this is a snippet of the code:

Code:

baffles

        {

            level       (1 1);

            faceZone baffle; 

            faceType baffle;

            cellZone heater; 

            cellZoneInside inside; 

        }

After its done, in my boundary file this is:

Code:

baffles_BAFFLES

    {

        type            wall;

        nFaces          1220;

        startFace       291324;

    }

    baffles_BAFFLES_slave

    {

        type            wall;

        nFaces          1220;

        startFace       292544;

    }

How can I merge this two exactly same patches? Thanks.

BTW,I tried createPatch, cuz the nFaces is not zero, so the slave patch is still there.

Hi sharonyue,

since they are consecutive, you can try this:

Code:

    baffles

    {

        type            wall;

        nFaces          2440;

        startFace       291324;

    }

Best,

Pablo
