Hello,

I have a question about faMeshDefinition in interTrackFoam.
I know you have already talked about it above in the thread but I still can't get what makeFaMesh does exactly. Does it simply set the boundary of the free surface or does it do something a little more complex?


I have another question, in faMeshDefintion, Jens Klosterman used a faPatch of type wall:

boundary
{
wall_1
{
type wall;
ownerPolyPatch freeSurface;
neighbourPolyPatch wall_1;
}

wall_2
{
type wall;
ownerPolyPatch freeSurface;
neighbourPolyPatch wall_2;
}

I would have liked to make the same, however I am using OpenFOAM-1.5-dev and I get the following error message:
Unknown faPatch type wall

Valid faPatch types are :

4
(
empty
processor
wedge
patch
)

Has the faPatch wall been deleted from the 1.5 version? If yes why and what should I set as a faPatch instead? If no, have you got an idea why I do not have it in the sources?

Thank you in advance.
