Dear foamers,

I want to know what locationInMesh keyword in castellatedMeshControls in dynamicMeshDict file do.

Guide says "location vector inside the region to be meshed; vector must not
coincide with a cell face either before or during refinement".

but I don't get this description exactly.

Could anyone explain about this please?

Best Regards,

Sungbae lee

locationInMesh must be a point inside the base mesh (for instance, the one generated from blockMesh). It tells snappyHexMesh which region to mesh, if locationInMesh is inside the STL surface, it will mesh the inside and vice versa.
