Error: topoSet – create patch from .stl – searchableSurfaceToFaceZone
Hi, I’m relatively new to OF and am using OF foundation V7. I have am trying to create a multi-region mesh for a chtMultiRegionFoam model. I have:
When I run topoSet I get the following error: Code:
Reading topoSetDict The contents of topoSet file are: Code:
actions I've tried defining the name variable as the full path, file name only, in quotations, out of quotations. The .stl is accessible. Looking at the error I see that it is looking for a triSurfaceMesh, not a file, and it is "starting" from a directory that does not exist. I'm not sure why the model directory (geomTest1) is specified as the final directory (is this a bug?). I am also not certain that my methodology is correct. Imagine I have 2 cubes with face to face contact, defined by .stl files. I previously made a simple model with heat transfer on the patch between the two cubes. In this model I want to have the same heat transfer between the two, but also a heat source on a patch on a face of cube1. This patch is irregular shaped and so needs to be formed by and .stl file not another tool available in topoSet or setSet. This is a training exercise for me, my final geometry will be more complex, hence forming the cubes with stl files too. Currently I mesh the cubes using sHM, then in topoSet specify the stl of the region for the heat source. Cube 1 has the edges for the region within the geometry so that the feature is captured in the sHM meshing. Is this correct or do I somehow need to define the region in the sHM process? Any help would be appreciated |
