Hi everyone,
I wrote a blockMeshDict file for a simple geometry (image attached) with 1 inlet (left) and 3 outlets (right, bottom). It took me quite some time to get the blocks and regions right and everything runs fine when I use this mesh. But now, I have to do the same simulation in a 3-D version of the same mesh. Since this is actually a cylinder, I would have to re-write some of those blocks as O-grid blocks. This, in itself, is not such a big problem. The major problem is re-writing all of those vertices and blocks as 3D points. My question is this - since the vertices and blocking already exist in a 2D blockMeshDict, is it not possible to generate a 3D version of the same through a script using the 2D file as a template? I realize there is no easy way to do so, but any tips on how to achieve this using basic scripting on bash would be quite cool. |
