[snappyHexMesh] snappyHexMesh -overwrite flag in 1.5-dev

norman1981 · January 13, 2010, 10:04

Dear OpenFOAM users/developers,

I'm developing a Qt OpenFOAM interface addressed the OpenFOAM-1.5-dev version. I need an implementation of the SnappyHexMesh utility "-overwrite" flag (that is already present in the 1.6 version) to avoid some workarounds to copy the last step folder to the constant folder.
Is there someone that can help me giving some suggestions about which files I have to modify in order to have this flag in my OpenFOAM-1.5-dev?

Thanks

Regards

Norman

I solved porting the 1.6.x snappyHexMesh version to the 1.5-dev.

Hi Norman,

how did you do this... was it straight forward?

Regards!

Hi Fabian,

You have to modify the autoMesh and the meshTools library. I will ask to Prof. Hrvoje Jasak in the following days if I can commit my changes to include them in the current 1.5-dev version even if I don't know if they will be accepted because Mr Hakan Nilsson told me Hrvoje is planning a 1.6-dev release.

Regards

Norman
