Hi.
Who are u talking with?

I just want to add if you want to use refineMesh more than one time make sure to set the startFrom in controlDict to latestTime. Because each time refineMesh creates a mesh at a new time step and if startFrom is not set to latestTime refineshMesh does not read the refined mesh.

Cheers.

Then I use the following script (credits to the one who wrote it, I actually don't know)

refineMeshByCellSet()
{
   while [ $# -ge 1 ]
   do
      echo "creating cell set for primary zone - $1"
      cp system/cellSetDict.$1 system/cellSetDict
      cellSet > log.cellSet.$1 2>&1

      echo "refining primary zone - $1"
      refineMesh -dict -overwrite > log.refineMesh.$1 2>&1
      shift
   done
}

runApplication blockMesh
echo "BlockMesh finish"
refineMeshByCellSet 1 2 3
echo "refineMeshByCellSet finish"

The second last line defines how often it will be refined..
