[mesh manipulation] refineWallLayer - error

dodobenq · October 6, 2015, 06:44

Hey Guys!

I want to refine my Mesh near the patch "cylinder". When I type in the following command

Code:

refineWallLayer -overwrite cylinder 0.3

this error appears:

Code:

// * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * //
Create time

Create polyMesh for time = 0



--> FOAM FATAL IO ERROR: 
incorrect first token, expected <int> or '(', found on line 0 the word 'cylinder'

file: IStringStream.sourceFile at line 0.

    From function operator>>(Istream&, List<T>&)
    in file /home/openfoam/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.4.0/src/OpenFOAM/lnInclude/ListIO.C at line 149.

FOAM exiting

Does anybody know, what am I doing wrong?

Kind Regards!

Hi, the correct syntax would be:

Code:

refineWallLayer -overwrite '(cylinder)' 0.3

I got this from the hint " expected <int> or '(' " that the error message gave and just tested it on the cavity tutorial.

Regards,
Tom

Hello All,

I just stated to use the refineWallLayer utility, this worked for me too also. But just wondering what is the suffix, 0.5 ? Could I use any other number like, 0.7, 0.9 etc? Particularly what is the significance of this number. It will be a great help if you could explain this.

Thanks a lot !
