Hello All,

I have been working with OF-1.5 and using interFoam.

My domain is a cylindrical tube with the axis aligned with the gravity vector. The tube is closed at the bottom and I need to initialize the flow-field such that half of the tube is filled with liquid.

When I run setfields, I can only prescribe dimensions of a box. I used dimensions for a box that would encapsulate the cylindrical region that I needed to initialize, but setFields does not work. Doesn't throw an exception either.

Any ideas on how I can handle this problem is appreciated. Thanks.
