[Gmsh] gmsh/OpenFOAM/bad zone names

latvietis · May 27, 2012, 10:27

Greetings!

I have made a geometry that has internal faces with gmsh. Using gmshToFoam goes well until the point where it writes faceSets:

Code:

Writing zone 7 to faceZone air5 and faceSet
Writing zone 8 to faceZone faceZone_8 and faceSet
Writing zone 9 to faceZone faceZone_9 and faceSet
Writing zone 10 to faceZone faceZone_10 and faceSet
Writing zone 11 to faceZone air5 and faceSet

The problem is that, for example in this case, zone 7 is written to Zone air5 and after that zone 11 has been overwritten the same air 5. Basically I loose one patch. How these names for my Zones are chosen? Why it actually takes air5 and not that default faceZone_X?

This is what I want to achieve

Code:

Writing zone 7 to faceZone faceZone_7 and faceSet
Writing zone 8 to faceZone faceZone_8 and faceSet
Writing zone 9 to faceZone faceZone_9 and faceSet
Writing zone 10 to faceZone faceZone_10 and faceSet
Writing zone 11 to faceZone faceZone_11 and faceSet

Yours sincerely,
Martin
