Hello all,

 

I've been struggling to convert my hypermesh mesh to fluent or openfoam, end station is OpenFOAM. In the attachment is my design domain I've meshed with a structured hex mesh (necessary).

 

What i've done:

1. Import .stl or .step > 2D Shrinkwrap > All hex

2. Create components for the inlet/outlet and wall patches: Collector > create > components > inlet/outlet/wall

 

What should be done:

3. Assign surfaces to this components.

 

What is going wrong is I can only add elements to the components but OpenFOAM requires surfaces. How can I create these as shown in the attachment.

 

Any help is appreciated.

 

Jeroen

    Tool => faces => Select volume elements to extract the face => Organize faces into components for Fluent.
