Hi



I developed a mesh using block mesh. I checked the mesh using 'checkMesh' and there was no error. It contains merged patches. When I open the mesh in paraFoam, I can't see these merged patches (interface1 or interface2) in the 'Mesh Parts' menu and in the mesh. So how can I define boundary conditions on these merged patches. Please help me on this. I couldn't find a solution so far.


Thanking You
