Tutorial case

  • The tutorial case can be found in the materials inside the training/run/snappyTestCase directory.
  • The directory contains a preset case for mesh generation of a simple geometry:

             29 blockMeshDictDictionary for blockMesh utility

  • Additional files and folders for meshing:
    • triSurface directory holds the input geometry. SnappyHexMesh always looks into this directory.
    • snappyHexMeshDict is a dictionary for snappyHexMesh inlucding all the mesh and algorithm parameters.
    • surfaceFeatureExtractDict is a dictionary for surfaceFeatureExtract utility by which edges of input geometry can be generated.
  • The input geometry for this case consists of three letter-shaped objects – C, F and D (see Figure [*]).
