Hi,


I have simulated a flow in a cylindrical mesh. Now, I intend to run another solver (let's say something like scalarTransporFoam) on the resulting velocity distribution.


I only need to execute the second solver on a cut plane of the cylinder. This would be equivalent to map an axisymmetric geometry (with the wedge BCs) with the cut plane data, and use this as mesh for the second simulation (diagram attached for clarity). Apparently, it is not as simple as I had thought:

• Exporting a cut plane from paraView or from cuttingPlane does not contain the mesh information.
• mapFields averages the 360 degrees into the wedge plane.

The only solution I can think of, is to use topoSet, then splitMesh and then manually delete the part of the mesh I am not interested on, and change the boundary conditions (?). But then, will the resulting regions still keep the data ?



Do you happen to know an easier solution ?


Thanks in advance
