Hello,

I have a case with the following files in /constant/polyMesh

- Boundary
- cellLevel
- cellZones
- faces
- faceZones
- level0Edge
- neighbour
- owner
- pointLevel
- points
- pointZones
- refinementHistory
- surfaceIndex

I'm using blockMesh, snappyHexMesh and topoSet to create my mesh, consisting of a 3D-Geometry in a 3D domain with multiple refinements.

Which of the files in the above folder can I safely delete when storing the case for later use? Keeping the files requires a lot of storage.

I've tried deleting all files and only keeping "boundary", but re-creating and running the case with the same previously used commands and settings is not successfull. I get a different convergence result compared to the original case. Furthermore, the re-created mesh differs from the original mesh (e.g. layering around geometry).

Best regards and thank you for any help,
Alwin
