Is there anybody who knows the command of "splitMeshRegions"? It has many options: [-cellZones] [-blockedFaces faceSet] [-overwrite] [-insidePoint point] [-case dir] [-parallel] [-largestOnly] [-mapfile] [-makeCellZones] [-help] [-doc] [-srcDoc], but I faild to find the usage. Please help me out understanding the meanig of each options.

Actually, I am going to split some region. If I use -cellZones, it splits all the regions. Please let me know how to split certain cellZones (not all).

What does this command do anyway? Does it split/reforms an existing mesh?

I was trying to build a case based on multiRegionHeater -tutorial. I made the geometry and meshed it using Gambit, then exported it to .msh-file. Then I put it to openfoam, the mesh conversion worked nicely, also meshCheck went ok.

Then I defined needed properties in 0-directory and tried to run splitMeshRegions and it just doesn't work. This is what it outputs

FOAM aborting

I have a solid part and a fluid part defined and meshed in Gambit. So do I even need to use splitMeshRegions -command?

Your mesh consists of two disconnected regions. splitMeshRegions will write each of these to a separate region directory. It should not fail. Do you have a testcase you can post to the OpenFOAM-bugs section of the forum?

Hi all,

I have a problem running splitMeshRegions for a case that I have created changing file of the tutorial chtMultiRegion in the chtMultiRegionFoam directory:

Typing splitMeshRegions -cellZones work fine until it began to Maps fields for the first Region (Region 0)
It maps correctly the following fields:
K, rho, p, T, k, cp, epsilon, U
but it searches also another nonexistent field that it calls 'S' and there occour the error:

Mapping field S
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::bad_cast'
  what():  std::bad_cast
Aborted

I have imported the Mesh (made with ANSYS ICEM CFX and than exported in .msh) with the command:

fluent3DMeshToFoam

and the checkMesh says: Mesh OK

Is it possible that is a mesh-importation Problem ?
Is the importation method: fluent3DMeshToFoam the best method to import a Mesh?

Can someone Please help me?

Thank you

Cheers

Mik
