I managed to solve the problem by myself. So I'm posting the code in case someone needs to create a pipe bend using extrude Mesh.
The pipe looks as the image attached. The pipe lengths are in inches. x axis is perpendicular to the web page coming towards you. x,y,z axis intersect at the center of the circular cross section. image.JPG The extrudeMeshDict code is as follows. FoamFile { version 2.0; format ascii; class dictionary; object extrudeProperties; } constructFrom mesh; sourceCase "$FOAM_CASE"; sourcePatches (outlet); extrudeModel sector; nLayers 10; //number of layers in the pipe bend expansionRatio 1.0; //expansion of the cross section sectorCoeffs { axisPt (0 2.6824 0.146558); //conversion of inches to meters axis (1 0 0); //apparently this is the axis angle 90; } flipNormals false; mergeFaces false; Type blockMesh and then extrudeMesh. You should see the mesh in paraFoam Last edited by cfd4res; March 16, 2018 at 13:56. Reason: I managed to solve the problem by myself |
