Problem with adding the baffles to the the boundary patches made by createpatch
 
Hello
I have made three baffles (by createBafflesDict) and 17 patches (using createPatchDict). Each utility works well independently but i need that the result of one utility to be added to the result of the other utility in boundary file i.e. to have 20 boundaries after running both utilities. I have no idea about how to do it.


Any advise would be helpful
Best Regards

Hi,

I gues you can use the -overwrite option when running these utilities?

Best Regards,
Tom

Thank you very much Tom,

I did not find any examples on how to disable overwriting. Could you please explain a bit more about it?
Regards

Hi,

I meant that you should make sure you will overwrite your current mesh and not make a new mesh in a new time step, which is usually the default behavior. I would expect this to work:

Code:
cd <caseFolder>
createBaffles -overwrite
createPatch -overwrite
Cheers, Tom
