Dear All,
If I use other software to generate mesh, does it mean that I don't need the blockMeshDict file? My understanding is I can use the mesh file to replace Polymesh. Is it correct? |

Hi,
that's correct, the file blockMeshDict is an input file of the OpenFOAM tool blockMesh only. You're free to use any other mesh generation software, as long as it produces valid mesh files within the folder constant/polyMesh. Usually a conversion step is necessary when importing meshes from external software. A conversion is not necessary when using meshers such as snappyHexMesh or cfMesh which produce native OpenFOAM meshes. Cutter |
