[Other] Change the mesh in mixerVesselAMI2D tutorial

hoemmaria · September 19, 2017, 11:38

Hi!

I am quite new to OpenFoam, and very new to meshing with m4.

I would like to create a channel around the mixerVessel in the mixerVesselAMI2D tutorial. I understand that the mixer itself is divided into 8 main blocks with 4 sections inside giving five different radi (r, rb, ri, Rb, R).

What I want to do is to connect the outer radi R of the stator to a rectangular channel which is also stationary. I have added a figure of the mesh I want, where block 0-7 are to include the mixer. However, I cannot make it work.
I seem to have troubles with connecting the stator of the mixer to the blocks for the channel and I get error messages about the edges.

Code:

Aborted (core dumped)

The channel I have tried to make is (-10, -6, 1) to (20,6,1) in dm.

Do you have any ideas to what I am doing wrong?

I have attached my blockMeshDict.m4 and the corresponding blockMeshDict files together with a drawing of the mesh I want.

Kind regards,

I have worked on my problem and changed quite a lot. Now I get a different error message:

Due to the limitation of characters I cannot copy in all of my blockMesh. I have included the file and a drawing of the problem. Here are some of the information about the two blocks that is mentioned in the error message:
