Hi everyone:
I am modelling empty filling box. I developed a model in blender with two heat sources (0.03m*0.03m) and a spacing of 0.1m between them. I exported to openfoam (trisurface) and I use (25*25*25) in blockmeshdict and refine the region where two heat sources are with 0.01m*0.01 mesh size. But finally I find the spacing between two heat sources are not consistent with what I created in blender as well as the size of heat sources.

Anyone knows what's wrong with it?

Hello,


It is because of the element size. Increase your refinement level. Most probably, your problem will resolve.
