Write out nonorthogonality and squness as fields?
 
Is it possible? Not just non-ortho faces but for all faces, so I can look at it in paraview.

Thank you,

Hi,

Well, I am not sure about writing it as fields, but you can run checkMesh on your case and then use foamToVTK to convert the faceSets/cellSets to VTKs that can be viewed in Paraview.

Thank you for your reply.

Thaths true, but that only works for highly-nonorthogonal faces.
I would like to know this info for the entire mesh if possible, or at least for a range of nonorthogonality if that makes sense..

Hi,

I actually stand corrected. Apparently you can do something of the sort that you mentioned using swak4Foam:

Hope this helps.
