How to make a sphere mesh area. I need a sphere mesh area to do overset. The snappyHexMesh need a square area, blockMesh cannot create 3D sphere. Is anyone have good idea?

Hello,

Snappy needs hexahedral cells, but the initial mesh does not necessarily have to be a square.

And you can create 3D sphere in blockMesh.
Check the blockMesh tutorials in: $FOAM_TUTORIALS/mesh/blockMesh
