How to visualize sets in constantpolyMeshsets

hsieh · January 30, 2008, 21:25

Hi,

I did a checkMesh . case. checkMesh found some some faces with concave angles and put them in constant/polyMesh/sets/concaveFaces. How can I visualize these faces? Is it possible to improve these faces? and how?

Thanks!

Hi Pei,
Just to visualize is simple: use foamToVTK to convert the set to vtk format
foamToVTK ./ case_name -constant -faceSet concaveFaces
and then use paraview to actually see them.

Hi,
In my case there are faceZones and cellZones too.
I run foamToVTK, and now I can see faceZones in paraView. But cellZones are unvisible. Why?

thanks,
Paul
