creating patch with surfacetopatch
Hi everyone :D
I have a stl file with different faces where I would like to change the temperature of some selected faces. To achieve that I have selected this faces and copied them in the heating.stl file, while they are still present in the original and the coordinates are preserved. I tried to run surfacetopatch but got the following error while running the solver:
Code:
[0]
[0]
[0] --> FOAM FATAL IO ERROR:
[0] No PatchFunction1 dictionary entry: d
[0]

[0] file: /mnt/c/Users/david/Desktop/working_cases/work/david_new_stl_patch/processor0/0/U.boundaryField.inlet at line 27 to 34.

FOAM parallel run exiting
My procedere so far was: - blockMesh
- surfaceFeatureExtract
- snappyHexMesh -overwrite
- surfaceToPatch -tol 1e-6 constant/triSurface/scaled_heating.stl
- checkMesh
- decomposePar
- mpirun -n 4 buoyantBoussinesqSimpleFoam -parallel
And when I replace the entire polymesh folder with new one, which was generated from surfaceTopatch at the Directory 1/polyMesh, I get the following error while running decomposePar:
Code:
--> FOAM FATAL IO ERROR:
Cannot find patchField entry for heating
file: /mnt/c/Users/david/Desktop/working_cases/work/david_new_stl_patch/0/cellLevel.boundaryField at line 27 to 39.
From void Foam::GeometricField<Type, PatchField, GeoMesh>::Boundary::readField(const Foam::DimensionedField<TypeR, GeoMesh>&, const Foam::dictionary&) [with Type = double; PatchField = Foam::fvPatchField; GeoMesh = Foam::volMesh]
in file /home/pawan/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-v2006/src/OpenFOAM/lnInclude/GeometricBoundaryField.C at line 172.
FOAM exiting
As I understand it cellLevel was generated by snappyhexMesh which in term supplies the information for the surfacetopatch function. How can I solve this?
What do I have to change?
Thanks in advance:)
Best Regards
