CFD Online Discussion Forums - PotentialFoam use with a snappyhexmesh

hello,

I am trying to run potentialFoam on a mesh I generated using snappyHexMesh.
My problem is that when i run this:

Code:

#!/bin/sh

cd "${0%/*}" || exit                                # Run from this directory

. ${WM_PROJECT_DIR:?}/bin/tools/RunFunctions        # Tutorial run functions

#------------------------------------------------------------------------------



canCompile || exit 0    # Dynamic code

mkdir -p constant/triSurface

#copy DTC hull surface from resources folder

cp -f /mnt/c/Users/blu/Desktop/MESH_2.stl constant/triSurface/

runApplication surfaceFeatureExtract

runApplication blockMesh

for i in 1 2 

do

    runApplication -s $i \

        topoSet -dict system/topoSetDict.${i}



    runApplication -s $i \

        refineMesh -dict system/refineMeshDict -overwrite

done

runApplication decomposePar

runApplication foamJob -p -s snappyHexMesh

#runApplication snappyHexMesh -overwrite -parallel

runApplication reconstructParMesh -mergeTol 1e-06 -latestTime

restore0Dir

and preview the mesh in paraview everything is ok, but on running this:

Code:

runApplication potentialFoam

immediately after, potentialFoam seems to create the mesh anew, and it does not have my feature extracted from the .stl file. It appears potentialfoam is only running blockMesh and refinements, but does not run snappyHexMesh.

Is there a way to make potentialFoam use the mesh generated in previous steps?

thanks!
