Hello Foamers,

i am recently struggling with the mesh problems. I want to use toposetdict to generate a cathode, which is built with a cylinder and a cone . I have searched out the document inhttps://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/TopoSet, from which I can only find how to generate cylinder using cylinderToCell. Now I wonder if a cone shaped geometry is also possible using toposet.Any hints from you will be welcome. Thanks in advance.

Hi,

as far as I know that's currently not possible. I might be wrong though.

The required functionality (coneToCell) can be implemented based on the cylinderToCell cell source with little effort. The code is located at .../src/meshTools/sets/cellSources/cylinderToCell.

Hope that helps.

Another thought - It seems like something swak4foam could do, although I have never tried.

If I search for "swak4foam swakTopoSource", this thread comes up. Looks like it may send you in the right direction as far as using swak4foam in the topoSetDict file.

Hello Peng,

Have you succeed in create a cone shape by using topoSet? If the answer is yes, would you share your method with me ?

Thanks a lot!

Hi!


Did you guys manage in creating a cone shape?



It would highly appreciate if you help me, as well as others who are phasing this problem


Thank you in advance & regards,

Dear all,

I am curious whether anyone has been working on this since the last post. I am looking to create a conical cellzone, or more specifically, a cylinder on top of a cone
