Hi,

I want to make my 'outlet' into a wall and create an box shaped outlet through the original outlet of my blockMesh but I am not sure where to start this from. I am new with OF6 and CFD and i got confused when I tried approaching the utilities

I looked at createPatch and createBaffles.

The description says the it creates a set out of faces, but will I not need cells instead of faces from the origianl outlet to become and small outlets?

I am attachning pictures so its more clear.
I have an outlet and I want to convert it to a wall and make smaller outlets out of it as shown in the second picture.

my blockMeshDict looks like this:
