[snappyHexMesh] The overwrite option is not working

Xavier_95 · October 9, 2020, 04:37

Hi! I have a very basic question about snappyHexMesh.
I am using OpenFOAM v1912 and I run the command "snappyHexMesh -overwrite 2>&1 | tee log.snappyHexMesh", because I want to overwrite all the mesh files.
The problem is that this does not work at all. At the end of the meshing process, I have all the files generated by snappyHexMesh.
And this is a big problem for me because If I try to run the FoamToVTK, the checkMesh or the PatchSummary command, they work on all the files and it is very time consuming.
Do you have any idea?

Well, if someone has the same problem, I found the error in my case. I basically set the mesh debug option equal to 1 in the snappyHexMeshDict file.
