CheckMesh command with OpenFoam10
 
Goodmorning everyone. I am using SnappyHexMesh to create a mesh for OpenFoam10. I would like to export some mesh quality indicators (such as skewness) on Paraview in order to be able to visualize the most problematic zones of the mesh. I wanted to do this operation using the command "checkMesh -writeAllFields" but it looks like the option "-writeAllFields" is not available anymore with openFoam10. Is there a method in order to being able to use this command with OpenFoam10? If not, can you suggest me an alternative method to check mesh quality?

Hello Paolo,

If I'm not mistaken, the -writeAllFields option has never been implemented in the OpenFOAM foundation branch (openfoam.org), only in the ESI-OpenCFD branch (openfoam.com).

You can use checkMesh -help to get help on the available options for the version you are currently using.
I guess you will have to use something like "-writeSets <surfaceFormat>"

Cheers,
Yann
