Hello guys,

I was wondering if there is a way to extract information about the percentage of layer coverage on a surface. In other words, I would like to get an indication like:

''Patch xx has 90% of its surface covered by layers.''

I am using snappyHexMesh as meshing tool.

Any help would be highly appreciated.

Thanks,

Luca

Hi Luca,


at the end of the snappyHexmesh log you have a kind of table looking like this:

patch   faces    layers   overall    thickness
                                           [m]       [%]
-----     -----          ------          ---       ---
w_walls  104424   9.46     0.0187    97.4

End

Finalising parallel run

I use the line:

patch   faces    layers   overall    thickness
                                            [m]       [%]

 w_walls  104424   9.46     0.0187    97.4

and compare the number of layers ( 9.46 in th is case ) t othe number I asked ( 10 in my case)


I hope it help.
