[snappyHexMesh] How to use Openfoam 10 snappyHexMesh to foam-extend-5.0?

mechanicalhead · November 21, 2023, 13:14

Hello everyone,

I am newbie with SHM and OF. I create a mesh by SHM on OF10 but I don't know how to use it with foam-extend-5.0. I tried to convert by foamMeshToFluent and fluentMeshToFoam. But I have some polyhedral meshes. VTK also didn't help due to patch names are deleting. (deleted maybe only with my methods). I was using Ansys meshing and ICEM to run on foam-extend but now I need SHM.

My common error is fe50 doesn't care firstLayerThickness and says cannot find finalLayerThickness. How can I solve these problems. It was creating good BL meshes with firstLayerThickness by OF10.

Thank you.
Best regards.

Hi mechanicalhead,

What is your problem exactly? Importing a mesh file (created by ansys or cfMesh) to openfoam? or generation of first prism layer in sHM?

Hi saeed jamshidi,

I was trying to use mesh created by SHM with foam-extend. I found solution with not using foam-extend solver.
