Snappy has 3 phases: refinement, snapping, layering. Can we use extrudemesh right after the refinement phase, and then proceed to snap and add layers?.


I think it would be great for 2D meshes. Mine at least take very long to snap, so if the snapping subdictionary can snap extruded stuff, it would run faster

In theory it should be possible. You would run snappyHexMesh the first time with only castellation true, then extrude the grid with extrudeMesh and finally run sHM again with castellation set to false and snap and addlayers to true. If you don't use the -overwrite option, you'll have to pay attention to move/copy the latest grid edit from any time folder to constant/, so that any subsequent utilities work on the correct polymesh.

In extrudeMeshDict I believe you'd have to specify constructFrom mesh in order to retain the cell refinement in direction of the extrusion. Otherwise only the patch will be extruded and on each cell layer there would be only 1 cell, thus loosing cell refinement in that direction previously done by sHM.
