cyclicAMI
 

When using 'moveDynamicMesh -checkAMI', I found the next problem:

Calculating AMI weights between owner patch: AMI1 and neighbour patch: AMI2
AMI: Creating addressing and weights between 46919 source faces and 47636 target faces


--> FOAM FATAL ERROR:

Somebody knows why?

Thanks a lot

Hello Rvilum,
Have you solved this problem? I intend to simulate a rotational propeller. I made the static and rotational mesh separately and then merged together. Cell zones for the rotational part is also created. But When I used movedynamimesh -checkAMI command, this error shows up. The message is similar with yours as the following. How did you solve the problem? Thanks

Never mind Rvilum,
I just found that the wrong setting of the rotating origin and axis in the dynamicMeshDict would cause this problem. Hope this information helps for others. Thanks.

Hi Dupeng
 

I have got a same problem like yours. I just want to use the cyclicAMI B.C to preform like interface B.C in the fluent. and there is no moving mesh, just two parts. I create the mesh using ICEM, simulate using pisoFoam solver. but the error below:
ps:Could you help me please? I have been confused by this problem almost one week.:(

Hi,
I don't quite understand your question. You said you want to use cyclicAMI bc and your mesh doesn't move. Do you mean SRF or MRF simulation? If so, you can check this link:

https://www.slideshare.net/fumiyanoz...using-openfoam

there are also many other tutorials you can find on the internet. But first check if pisoFoam has this function, or you can change the code by yourself.

Thank you so much for your reply. i really don't understand SRF or MRF because i never use it. so Could you tell me your email? So that i could send my CASE files to you. the mesh was created by ICEM software, So i edit the boundary file to change the patch to cyclicAMI.
