Keep sets when mergeMeshes

Horus · December 30, 2012, 12:48

Hello,

I've two meshes which were created using fluentMeshToFoam -writeSets -writeZones. These meshes are merged using mergeMeshed -overwrite.

The original meshes contain zone and set information, however in the merged mesh this is lost.

Is there any way to keep / recreate zones/sets? My goal is to use tools like mergeOrSplitBaffles and at the end dynamicMeshMotion with AMI.

Thanks!

I've found this bug report regarding the issue: http://www.openfoam.org/mantisbt/view.php?id=432

However, it should be fixed in 2.1.x. Anybody could confirm that? I try with 2.1.1 and it does not seem to work.
