Hello Everyone!

I have created a slightly complicated mesh which has 3 regions. I have made these using blockMesh. The geometry is as shown in the attached figures.

When I run blockMesh it creates the geometry and after running splitMeshRegions -cellZones -overwrite I also get three different domains automatically.

My question is that when I run the spliMeshRegions command I can see in the terminal different regions/domains being created and the number of cells in the respective domains also(see attached code). I want to write the files(class cellSet) for these regions containing the cells which get created in constant/polyMesh/sets folder. How to do this.
There should be a way as while trying few things I mistakenly created these files and now I am unable to reproduce the same.

Hello everyone,
I found the answer just run the checkMesh!!!

[toro-boro]

I have the same problem, I think. Maybe you can help me?)
