splitMeshRegions 1D
Hi foamers,
since i have started again with openfoam, i am facing a problem with splitMeshRegions in 1D. I wanted to create a simple problem, but failed.

It is very simple, two regions solid and fluid in 1d, each 5 blocks wide in a row, for chtMultiRegionFoam.
The strange thing is, that when i start blockMesh i get a patch solid_to_fluid which i don't have, when running it in 2D or if i put the number of cells in y-direction to 2.

The existence of this patch after blockMesh leads to an incorrect execution of splitMeshRegions -overwrite -cellZones, because i don't get any mappedPatches out of it.

Because if i set the number of cells in y-direction to 2, then i get

For interface between region solid and fluid added patches

4 fluid_to_solid

and so everything works fine and i have my patches for coupling.
What am I missing here? Or is 1D not expected for splitMeshRegions?
Thanks in advance and best regards
