Dears.

I'm developing a simulation in which I want to find Torque and thrust force in a rotating propeller. I make the mesh in salome and working with MRF to generate the rotation in the propeller. Due the version of OF that i'm using (2.3.) I have to create the fvOptions Dict. The problem is that when I'm running the case I get the next error:

PHP Code:

Cannont find cellZone propeller
Valid cellZones are 0()

From function option::setCellIds()
in file fvOptions/fvOption.C at line 158 


I have to create the cellZone dict or change in my fvOptions dict the selectionMode? The structure of the fvOptions dict is:

PHP Code:

MRF1
{
     type     MRFSource;
     active   true;
     selectionMode  cellZone;
     cellZone  propeller;

    MRFSOurceCoeffs
    {.... 


If I have to create the cellZone dict ¿How I make it? or ¿Where can I find the options to the selectionMode in my fvOptions dict?

Thanks to All.

hi i have the similar problem

--> FOAM FATAL ERROR:
Cannot find cellZone porousBlockage

Have you found the solution?

Check your setSet log and see if you have generated a propper cellSet. Maybe you got the name wrong or missed a step in the generation of the cellSet.


/edit: All sets are saved under <your Case>/constant/polyMesh/sets if there is no file in this path, you did not generate a set at all.

I checked my sets folder and I have a file in there..


Any progress on this problem..

Hi, may I know if what's the purpose and procedure for generating a proper cellSet? Is there a guide to follow?
