snappyhexmesh with cyclicAMI
2 Attachment(s)
Hi everyone,
I am not sure if this is leading somewhere, but I decided to start working with cyclicAMI.
I left out the solid not moving body for now and started building a new mesh with blockMesh (sorry the numbering might be quite confusing) and defined two AMI patches on the cylindrical edge that is supposed to move later, orientating on the mixerVesselAMI2D tutorial.
The blockMesh result (ami1.png) looks fine to me.
The problems arise when i try to snap in the geometry with snappyHexMesh. At first I specified the locationInMesh somewhere outside the cylindrical part and the inner part just disappears (ami2.png). If I specifiy the locationInMesh inside the cylindrical part I get this error message:
Code:
--> FOAM FATAL ERROR:
Supplied field size is not equal to target patch size
source patch = 0
target patch = 0
supplied field = 400
From function AMIInterpolation::interpolateToSource(const UList<Type>&, const CombineOp&, List<Type>&, const UList<Type>&) const
in file /home/thesis/wilhelm/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-3.0.1/src/meshTools/lnInclude/AMIInterpolation.C at line 1256.
What am I missing? Do I need to have two meshes and then snap the smaller one into the bigger one later or stitch them together?
Also if anyone has ideas how to deal with the second body, I would really appreciate it!
Thanks for your time :)
