Hello,

We are currently working on a project, where we have to place sensors in a water pipe. We wanted to simulate the background information (water velocity and pressure), to see its impact on our sensors. I am a master student in Communication Engineering, so my knowledge in CFD is very limited.

In this link:
http://www.bankras.org/projects/open...foam/#more-309
you can download a Python code which outputs the the blockMeshDict file of few examples, we are interested in the first example in the link.
I tried to run the blockMeshDict file using openFoam/paraview and Helyx os but I am not completely sure how to do it.

Help would be highly appreciated.

Regards,
Mustapha

Mustapha,

First of all, welcome to the forum. In order to create a mesh from a blockMeshDict file in HELYX-OS, you can simply:

1. Start a new case in HELYX-OS as you normally would
2. Go to the mesh tab, and select base Mesh at the top of the tree
3. In "Base Mesh Type", select type "From file" and import your blockMeshDict file
4. hit create and your mesh will be created from the blockMeshDict input file

See the attached image with the result form your first link. I hope this helps.
