[mesh manipulation] ScalePoints

hani · September 13, 2005, 08:17

I need to scale a mesh from [mm] to [m], and the UserGuide tells me to use scalePoints. I can't however find scalePoints in OpenFoam 1.2.

How do I perform this operation in OpenFoam 1.2?

Håkan.

I think in 1.2, this has been changed to
transformPoints. You can do this from either the command line or within FoamX

Thanks, I just found it myself, and I guess that the following does the job:

transformPoints <root> <case> -scale "(1e-3 1e-3 1e-3)"

Please update the manual as soon as you have the time.

Håkan.
