Sandu69 is on a distinguished road
Hello!

I created a simple channel flow case in openfoam with a step in cross section. For the mesh I created 2 blocks with different meshes at the interface between the blocks. Then I applied the "MergePatchPairs" command in blockMesh. The user manual says that blockMesh adapts the meshes somehow at the interface.
Now my question:
Is there any possibility to check how the mesh is really looking like?
I created a slice through the domain in paraview and used the "wireframe" or "surface and edges" display mode, but the mesh looks really crazy. A collegue of mine told me that paraview would not display the real mesh properly.

Thanks in advance
