Hi everyone, when I try to use snappyHexMesh on my imported STL file it seems to work well :
Code:
Overall mesh bounding box  : (-1 0 -1) (1 1 1)
Relative tolerance         : 1e-06
Absolute matching distance : 3e-06

Reading refinement surfaces.
Read refinement surfaces in = 0.01 s

Reading refinement shells.
Refinement level 2 for all cells inside cylinder.stl
Read refinement shells in = 0.01 s

Setting refinement level of surface to be consistent with shells.
Checked shell refinement in = 0 s

Reading features.
Read edgeMesh cylinder.eMesh
    points      : 880
    edges       : 880
    boundingBox : (-20 -19.9938 -50) (51 19.9938 50)

Refinement level according to distance to "cylinder.eMesh" (880 points, 880 edges).
    level 1 for all cells within 0 metre.
Read features in = 0 s


Determining initial surface intersections
-----------------------------------------

Edge intersection testing:
    Number of edges             : 192500
    Number of edges to retest   : 192500
    Number of intersected edges : 0
Calculated surface intersections in = 1.12 s

Initial mesh : cells:62500  faces:192500  points:67626
Cells per refinement level:
    0	62500

Adding patches for surface regions
----------------------------------

Patch Type                Region                        
----- ----                ------                        
cylinder:

4     wall                cylinder                      

Added patches in = 0.01 s

Selecting decompositionMethod none
But then I receive this error message :
Code:
FOAM FATAL IO ERROR: 
keyword allowFreeStandingZoneFaces is undefined in dictionary "/home/maxime/postGeo/system/snappyHexMeshDict.castellatedMeshControls"

file: /home/maxime/postGeo/system/snappyHexMeshDict.castellatedMeshControls from line 52 to line 148.

    From function const Foam::entry& Foam::dictionary::lookupEntry(const Foam::word&, bool, bool) const
    in file db/dictionary/dictionary.C at line 566.
I previously successfully applied blockMesh and surfaceFeatureExtract that gave me :
Code:
FOAM FATAL IO ERROR: 
keyword allowFreeStandingZoneFaces is undefined in dictionary "/home/maxime/postGeo/system/snappyHexMeshDict.castellatedMeshControls"

    From function const Foam::entry& Foam::dictionary::lookupEntry(const Foam::word&, bool, bool) const
    in file db/dictionary/dictionary.C at line 566.
The blockMeshDict I'm using is :
Code:
convertToMeters 1;	//This gives you the scale: 0.001 would mean all units in this file are [mm]

vertices		//list of vertices defining the geometry
(
    (-1 0 -1)		//This is point 0. Not 1!

    (-1 1 -1)		//point 3
    (-1 0 1)		//point 4
    (1 0 1)		//point 5
    (1 1 1) 	//point 6
    (-1 1 1)		//point 7
    /* . .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . On ajoute une surface au centre du cube servant de "inlet" */

    (1 0 0.99)			// s5			—	point 12
    (1 1 0.99)			// s6			—		.. 13
);

(
    walls	//choose a name for the boundary
    {
        type wall;	//define the type of the boundary
        faces
        (
            (0 4 5 1)	// face 1	—	haut
            (3 7 6 2)	// face 2	—	bas
        );
    }

    
    inlet
    {
        type patch;
        faces
        (
            (0 4 7 3)	// face 3	—	gauche
	);
    }	   	


    outlet
    {
	type patch;
	faces
	(
            (2 1 5 6)	// face 4	—	droite
	);
    }


    frontAndBack
    {
        type wall;
        faces
        (
            (1 2 3 0)	// face 5	—	avant
            (7 6 5 4)	// face 6	—	arriθre
        );
    }
);
Thanks in advance.
