How to split a boundary face?

nikitin-pro · January 26, 2017, 09:57

I have a mesh with predefined boundary faces (from Salome) which I successfully exported to OpenFOAM via UNV.

One of the boundaries is a wall, half of which should be heated and another half should be adiabatic. So I need to split it in two. I can't split face with Salome, because it will mess up the mesh.

So far I found two ways: (1) topoSet / setSet >> SubsetMesh and (2) codedFixedValue.

Which one would be better in this case? Note that I doubt if I can use (2), because I define temperature BC with fixedGradient and not with fixedValue.
