Dear all,

In splitMeshRegions.C one can read that the flag -cellZonesFileOnly behaves like -cellZonesOnly but reads the cellZones from the specified file, and that this allows you to explicitly specify the region distribution and still have multiple cellZones per region.

I.e. just what I need, but it don't explain the syntax in <zoneFile>, and I can't figure it out.

Can anyone give me a hint?

Cheers,
Anders

Thanks for creating this thread, i am in the same issue, i am wondering if its to be used in the snappyHexMeshDict as follows:

        s5
        {
            // Surface-wise min and max refinement level
            level (5 5);

            faceZone s5;
	    faceType baffle;
            cellZonesFileOnly s5.stl;
            cellZoneInside inside;

thanks

The zonefile format is the same as yourcase/constant/polyMesh/cellZones
and the default location is yourcase/constant/polyMesh/
e.g.

FoamFile
{
    version     2.0;
    format      ascii;
    class       regIOobject;
    location    "constant/polyMesh";
    object      cellZones;
}
// * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * //
