Dear all,

I'm trying to use overlapGgi.
I made simple mesh for testing overlapGgi as attached image.
The boundary file is as follows,

imp_out
{
type overlapGgi;
nFaces 160;
startFace 33240;
shadowPatch gui_in;
zone imp_out_zone;
rotationAxis (0 0 1);
angle 72.0;
bridgeOverlap false;
}
gui_in
{
type overlapGgi;
nFaces 136;
startFace 33104;
shadowPatch imp_out;
zone gui_in_zone;
rotationAxis (0 0 1);
angle 60.0;
bridgeOverlap false;
}

I wrote function "ggiCheck" in my controlDict, and ran the MRFSimpleFoam solver, then the solver showed following message.

Number of slave copies: 2
Evaluation of GGI weighting factors:

From function void GGIInterpolation<MasterPatch, SlavePatch>::rescaleWeightingFactors() const in file .../GGIInterpolationWeights.C at line 534
Uncovered faces found. On master: 8 on slave: 120
largest slave weighting factor correction: 0.0170587 average: 0.000617197
largest master weighting factor correction: 0.390019 average: 0.0196433

And calculation stopped in Time=1 before solving p-eq. for floating point exception.

I think my setting about overlapGgi is something wrong, but I can't make out how to modify it. What's the problem on my setting?
Any comments welcome.

I've read source code "overlapGgiPatchFvPatch.H", and I've found that
master and slave patches must be started same edge.
So I change my mesh like attached image, and re-try simulation.
This time MRFSimpleFoam ran perfectly!

But this constraint (sharing same edge) is too hard to practical application,
I suppose.

Hi, Good morning.
I know your post was there for a really long time. But, did you notice the tutorial case in 1.6-ext, "turboPassangeRotating" ? Because in that case the master and slave don't start at the same edge...

I currently have the problem that:
the solver doesn't complain about uncovered faces, but when I tried to use foamToEnsight, it complained about the "uncovered faces".

Do you know what maybe the problem?

Thank you so much!
