I have imported a 2D mesh from Gambit with the argument -writeZones. I now want to initialize a value in the specified Zone using a clone of the dambreak case. How do I refer to the zone (as when setting a porous zone)instead of a box as they do in the damBreak case? My zone is specified under polymesh in cellZones and faceZones.
I have tried to replace the 'boxToCell' with the zone name but without progress. Can anyone tell my how to write the setFieldsDict? defaultFieldValues ( volScalarFieldValue gamma 0 volVectorFieldValue U (0 0 0) ); regions ( boxToCell { box (0 0 -1) (0.1461 0.292 1); fieldValues ( volScalarFieldValue gamma 1 ); } ); /Christofer |

Use the setFields utility just like you use any other utility.
In the console when you type setFields you will be able to see the format. $ setFields /user/OpenFoam/run/tutorial damBreak Then check the gamma in paraFoam. |

Hi
I have run the setFields and they suggest several commands: ( pointToCell boxToCell zoneToPoint surfaceToCell nearestToCell zoneToCell cellToFace pointToFace normalToFace boxToFace rotatedBoxToCell fieldToCell cellToPoint zoneToFace nbrToCell patchToFace labelToCell pointToPoint faceToCell boxToPoint labelToPoint boundaryToFace faceToPoint labelToFace shapeToCell faceToFace cellToCell surfaceToPoint ) Which one shall i use and how do I edit my setFieldsDict? The Zone-name is 'Mesa' and I have tried the following without success: defaultFieldValues ( volScalarFieldValue gamma 0 volVectorFieldValue U (0 0 0) ); regions ( faceToCell Mesa { fieldValues ( volScalarFieldValue gamma 1 ); } ); |

Dear Christofer,
did you manage to solve the problem?? I am very interested in the outgoing of your application! Here is the link to my posted problem, maybe you can see the relation and give me a hint: http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/ope...ing-faces.html Currently I am trying to set volume zones within my mesher Icem (Ansys) to write them in with -writeZones during the transfer to OF. How can I relate to them afterwards and how can I set Alpha1 to 1 in my desired volume zone?? Thank you very much for helping! Greetings, Markus. |
