NoradFirst2 is an unknown quantity at this point
Hi Foamers,

I have a problem with Salome/OpenFoam.

There is a viscous layer in my current mesh and it is generating a problem once I export it to UNV to use it in OpenFoam later: the viscous layer is generating a face which is identified when I export to OpenFoam and create a defaultFace I cannot get rid off.

(I first had this defaultFace poping, I went on paraFoam to see it and it was a face 3mm above my actual wall corresponding to the last viscous layer...)

Does anyone has an idea on how to handle this problem? It never appeared before... Thanks :')

EDIT: The ideasUnvToFoam command is telling me at the end:

Quote:
FOAM Warning: [...] Found 31920 undefined faces in mesh; adding to default patch.
The thing is I cannot find those faces in Salome.

EDIT2: checkMesh is telling me there are two regions in my mesh which is not normal. I should probably try to merge these two regions into one. Somehow...

EDIT3: Everything is fine as long as I remove the viscous layers.
