As per the dam example in the below link, the requirement is to create a rectangle block setFields. How to create other shapes?? Is there any documentation for creating other required shapes.

http://www.openfoam.com/docs/user/da...hp#x7-500002.3

First of all I didnot understand how did he define the rectangle block in the above example. It would be great if anyone can help me in that.

Also I would like to create a semi circular shape for my case in my 2-D Axisymmetric domain. My domain is in the shape of a wedge to consider axi symmetric case. I am including my blockMeshDict file if you want to look at my mesh.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Good Morning,

the box is created actually very easy.
They use two corner points (X Y Z) of the box they want to have, which
are not neighbours.

example:

box (-50 0 -30) (220 90 6.5)

this dscribes a box with the length in x direction of 270 m in y direction with 90 m and in z direction with 36.5 m

for a sphere I'm not 100% shure but you coulkd give it a try:

sphere ( X Y Z) r with r as the radius.

I got this idea from the sHMD file where you can define a searchableBox
which is defined the same way like the box above and they offer also the searchableRegion sphere so this is why I came up with the idea.

hope that helps
regards
Colin
