[bye bye my blue]

when I make mesh in salome with Groups of volume, only cellzones are created, not patches. so I can't see patches about outlet, inlet, walls TOT

I already dealt with salomeToFoam but when i did it, i can only see message
"You have to select a mesh object and then run this script."


can anyone help me ??ToT.. my salome is 7.71 and OPENFOAM is 4.-

[AbdulazizAlkandari]

I am getting the same second error. Did you manage to solve it?

[Saleh Abuhanieh]

Hi,


It seems the problem still exists for converting the wedge meshes from salome to OpenFOAM.

Salome shows the following warning during exporting any wedge mesh to .unv format:
"During export mesh with name "mesh_name" to UNV Pyramids will be missed"
So the problem started from Salome and consequently, ideasUnvToFoam doesn't work.



There was a python script (salomeToFoam) which was able to transfer directly from the mesh module of Salome to OpenFOAM mesh format, however, since the code is six years old it doesn't work now due to python version syntax issues.


It's a common problem, and I wish if anybody was able to solve it, he/she can share it ...


Regards,

[GerhardHolzinger]

The Python script, that was referred to above, can be found on GitHub.

I have used it with Salome 8.something, or even with one of the 9.? versions. So, I guess it should still work.

There's one open Pull-Request discussing Python-3 compatibility. So, it seems that this script is actively mainained.

If anybody is using this script, please post your Salome version, under which it is working.

[Saleh Abuhanieh]

Hi,


I tried this script two times, in the last trial I used Salome 9.3.0.
It didn't work, and the problem is related to the python-3 compatibility.


As an alternative, I may recommend the followings:


- Instead of the wedge mesh, create the mesh as 2D in Salome; simply use "Extrusion" instead of "Revolution" in the "Modification" tab under the mesh module.
- Make sure to name your "front" patch and "back" patch separately (you will need them for the extrudeMeshDict)

- Export now your mesh using the .unv format, no pyramids error will show
- Use "ideasUnvToFoam" command as usual
- Use the "extrudeMesh" command after filling a few required parameters in the "extrudeMeshDict" file .. if you face a negative volume error, change the sign of your angle, that worked for me.


Regards,
Saleh

Hi



I edited the script to make it python3 compatible : https://github.com/robinbinbinbinbin...eToOpenFOAM.py

[Zitzeronion]

Thanks for the update to python 3!


Can you add a how to if you find time?
Relatively new to meshing and having trouble with the pyramid error from Salome when I want to get an .unv file. So your script seems like a live saver, however I don't know how to use it.

[mishal49]

Hello

Select your mesh in Salome and then go to file -->load script and select the script.

I ran this script on a deformed and remeshed geometry. I then imported the polyMesh folder generated into OpenFOAM however, when I run the command 'checkMesh -allGeometry' it gives me the following mesh error (identical to when I did not run the python script):

You could import 3D mesh from Salome to OpenFOAM and then do the extrudeMesh.

It solves all the errors and complains when you are working with wedge domains.
