chtmultiregionfoam: Mesh generation( Salome) and conversion

shiromaniac · January 23, 2019, 05:33

Hello Foamers,
I am very new to openFoam and CFD. I need to do a case of In-compressible fluid flow past a heated cylinder(with internal heat generation). I used Salome to generate the mesh. I am having difficulty in amalgamating the mesh into the chtMultiRegionSimpleFoam case.
Can someone please (I badly need help) help me with the steps I should follow after this so that I can set-up my case folder.

Some solutions:

1 - If your mesh doesn't have prism elements you can export from salome using UNV format and import into OpenFoam using ideasUnvToFoam.

2 - If your mesh has prism elements you can use this scrip and copy polyMesh files direct to your case: Script for converting a mesh from Salome-Platform to OpenFOAM

Hey ICS,
That I have already done! I was asking for the further instructions which I should follow to set up the case is chtmultiregionsimplefoam.

Regards,
Shiromani
