Multiple solids
 
Hi everybody,

I try to simulate a very basic steadystate solid heat transfer problem of two solids (cube) joined by a common surface.

1 - I created the mesh with gmsh which contains two volumes and i converted the msh file with gmshToFoam, so that it seems to geneate everything under constant/polyMesh
2 - I created two files :
Constant\solid1\solidThermophysicalProperties
Constant\solid2\solidThermophysicalProperties
they contains a constSolidThermoCoeffs section with a K value.

3 - The two solids have different thermal conducitivties, as far as i understand laplacianFoam solver does not take in charge different values of conductivity, so i must use chtMultiRegionSimpleFoam solver. This solver indicates i need to have polymesh defined in each folder constant/solid1/2. I do not understand something cause constant/polymesh contains everything.

4 - If i defined two solids in Constant/regionProperties i get "fluid not found in table"

Any help please...
