I want to mesh a pyramid shape...i am running the following blockMeshDict file but i am getting segmentation fault...can anyone help me !

Hi,

I could do that using 'hex' keyword with 5 vertices instead of using 'pyr'.

Thanx, Hari

Hi,

I am also looking for a way to produce a pyramid in blockMesh. However for me it does not work to use the hex keyword with five entries. I also tried
hex (0 1 2 3 4 4 4 4)
However that also did not work. How can I get a nice pyramid?

Thanks!

[Nikunj.R]

just use 01234

Could anyone fix it? I cannot create a pyramid neither with hex nor with pyr and I don't get why

vertices
(
(1 -0.0436 0.0436)
(1 0.0436 0.0436)
(1 0.0436 -0.0436)
(1 -0.0436 -0.0436)
(0 0 0)
);

blocks
(
pyr (0 1 2 3 4) (50 1 1) simpleGrading (1 1 1)
);

Hi,

For your given set of vertices, have you tried this?

hex (0 1 2 3 4 4 4 4) (nx ny nz) simpleGrading (s1 s2 s3)

where nx, ny, nz, s1, s2, s3 are all values that you want to input.

Cheers,
