Hi Foamer
I am trying to convert a .msh file with multiple internal walls.
After many try I have managed to reproduce the procedure from the open wiki
http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/Ho...internal_walls

I have some problems and questions
Firsts this procedure did note worked on a 2D quad mesh.
When I do the checkMesh I have 3 kinds of error :


« Checking topology...
Boundary definition OK.
***Total number of faces on empty patches is not divisible by the number of cells in the mesh. Hence this mesh is not 1D or 2D.
Cell to face addressing OK.

My second concern is when I try to apply the procedure to a multiple internal-wall mesh.
I start with one of the internal wall.
A new folder is created named 0.001.
Inside I can find all the file corresponding to the new mesh.
But I don't have any « Sets » folder as in the constant folder where the original mesh is still located.
In the wiki it is indicated to use the instruction « SplitMeshWithSets ».
The problem is that I am using OF 2.01 and this instruction is not available anymore.
My question can be resume in « How can I apply several times the SplitMesh procedure on a given mesh »


Third question,
Can OF handle a mesh with multiple Fluid zone as in fluent.
I am looking for a tuto on the subject. Has anyone some resource on the subject?


Thanks a lot for you help.


Regards,


Miles
