[Other] How to create zero thickness internal walls in a given mesh in OpenFOAM?

karkar · July 6, 2012, 07:34

I know using topoSet and subsetMesh along the lines of the mesh/moveDynamicMesh/simpleHarmonicMotion tutorial, one can cut holes into a mesh and obtain new patches. How can something similar be achieved with a vanishing hole, i.e. can a set of internal faces be turned into two touching patches with opposite orientation?

As gschaider posted at SE, I simply need to use the createBaffles tools
