Hello I want to make a O grid mesh with a cylinder in the middel, the O grid is made up by 4 parts. I am trying to make the first part, but I get a failed mesh check, can somebody help me? And explain whats going wrong?

Hi,

Your mesh, at least from the checkMesh log, is perfectly fine.

The "errors" that you see are because you have not defined any patches in the blockMeshDict. As a result, for the moment, OF does not know what type of simulation yours is going to be - 1D, 2D or 3D

Once you define the different patches in blockMeshDict (including giving them a type), you will see that this "error" goes away.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Antimony
