[mesh manipulation] cellSet using setSet

mgab · February 13, 2017, 07:13

Hi
i'm following a tutorial in which is required to use cellSet but i saw that the tool merged into setSet. But i don't know how to use it!

The original cellSetDict is this:

Code:

// Name of set to operate on
name c0;

// One of clear/new/invert/add/delete|subset/list
action new;

// Actions to apply to cellSet. These are all the topoSetSource's ending
// in ..ToCell (see the meshTools library).

topoSetSources
(

    // Cells with cell centre within box
    boxToCell
    {
       box   (0.1 0.05 0) (0.4 0.15 0.005);
    }
);

Can anyone explain to me how to have the same result using setSet?
Thanks!

Hi,

please have a look at the following two wiki pages:
https://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/SetSet
https://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/TopoSet

I have no case to test against, but the given cellSetDict should translate to something like the following command in setSet:

Code:

cellSet c0 new boxToCell (0.1 0.05 0) (0.4 0.15 0.005)

Good luck!
