Hi,
I have created a cylinder using blockMesh and arcs. The mesh looks great (see figure) but I get too many errors. I would appreciate any help. Best, Marco. /*---------------------------------------------------------------------------*\ | ========= | | | \\ / F ield | OpenFOAM: The Open Source CFD Toolbox | | \\ / O peration | Version: 2.3.1 | | \\ / A nd | Web: www.OpenFOAM.org | | \\/ M anipulation | | \*---------------------------------------------------------------------------*/ Build : 2.3.1-262087cdf8db Exec : checkMesh Date : Jul 08 2016 Time : 15:58:19 Host : "ubuntu" PID : 12626 Case : /home/marco/SUPP_blockMesh nProcs : 1 sigFpe : Enabling floating point exception trapping (FOAM_SIGFPE). fileModificationChecking : Monitoring run-time modified files using timeStampMaster allowSystemOperations : Allowing user-supplied system call operations // * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * // Create time Create polyMesh for time = 0 Time = 0 Mesh stats points: 169781 faces: 489600 internal faces: 470400 cells: 160000 faces per cell: 6 boundary patches: 2 point zones: 0 face zones: 0 cell zones: 0 Overall number of cells of each type: hexahedra: 160000 prisms: 0 wedges: 0 pyramids: 0 tet wedges: 0 tetrahedra: 0 polyhedra: 0 Checking topology...

hi
this error is because of false hex assigning focus on choosing points in hex selection for example : hex ( 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7) direction between 0 to 1 in all of hexes should be the same( e.g x axis) direction between 1 to 2 in all of hexes should be the same (e.g y axis) or we can say that you should use "right hand low" in assigning your hexes. Best wishes Ramin |
