Hi,
Continuing my efforts to tweak the tutorial case here: https://github.com/openfoamtutorials...r/SpaceCapsule.

1. I wanted to create structured mesh in the immediate vicinity of the front side of the object.
2. Also, I wanted to modify the geometry slightly and introduce a smooth corner on the front.


I did this in these two steps. Modified the gmsh file a little first to create the hybrid mesh and then to create the corner. When I export the mesh to foam, I get an warning of this sort for both cases:
Code:
--> FOAM Warning : 
    From function Foam::polyMesh::polyMesh(const Foam::IOobject&, const Foam::Xfer<Foam::Field<Foam::Vector<double> > >&, const cellShapeList&, const faceListList&, const wordList&, const wordList&, const Foam::word&, const Foam::word&, const wordList&, bool)
    in file meshes/polyMesh/polyMeshFromShapeMesh.C at line 595
    Found 1146577 undefined faces in mesh; adding to default patch.
However, for the first case where I did not have any curved corner, the export did not crate any defaultFaces in my polyMesh/boundary file whereas it does so in the second case. I do not understand why.
When I checked in paraview these faces are the ones that I created for the structured region (part of which were present for the first case yet did not result in defaultFaces entry)


Can anyone please explain why this is happening? Also, how do I get rid of the defaultFaces?
