I am new to both enGrid and openFOAM, and I am just trying to run a test of sorts to get it to work. Note: I am running the windows version of enGrid (because my company uses windows).

Since the tutorial or enGrid 1.4 is broken on the wiki, I have been trying the tutorial for enGrid 1.3, which seems to be deficient or perhaps I am incompetent. Either way, I would appreciate help.

I can load in my *.stl file, generate mesh, form geometry and so forth, but when I go to export the case for solving with openFOAM, I get an error:

Bounary code 1 not properly defined

I feel like I just have no idea what I am doing with this software, but would really appreciate some help figuring this out.

Greetings Paul and welcome to the forum!

It would be really helpful if you could provide images of how you have configured your surface mesh boundaries and the respective boundary conditions.

Best regards,
Bruno

I think I am at about the same stage as you are with Engrid,
you need to define the boundary conditions (BC-Type), as the default (patch) isn't recognized.

It is in the tab next to it. I don't know what the left/right duct boundaries should be (as they are in the in and outflow area inside the grid), but the others would be walls and in/outlet, I think.

I've attached two images showing what I mean

-Edit: I've made a mistake, Duct_left and Duct_right should be the in and outflow, BC12 and BC13 should be walls!
-Edit #2: Another mistake, BC12 and 13 should be split (using the p and s keyboard shortcuts like earlier) into a wall part and a symmetry part.

Sorry for the edits, as I said, I am just getting started with Engrid/OpenFOAM
