Hey again, following my meshing problem, I wanna try defeaturing my coil a little to have a coarser interface between the coil and the resistor, as @Yann suggsted (in the meshing channel). I installed the defeaturing addon but I don't manage to select the coil on the GUI, how do it do it xD ? https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/397871939949166613/1319205390558433280/image.png?ex=67651d42&is=6763cbc2&hm=daddca283f1008d49c875aea5a94eff6ad62440942cd145057347e96c8073087&

I would HIGLY recommend you to ask in the freecad discord. they are super active, in this community sadly there are not of FC users... (even if there are, you will get help way faster there :))

Roger, could you send me an invite ?

if then you want to come back and mentionned how you solved it would be nice 🙂

I will keep you posted (same for when I have my solver and stuff, I didn't forget) !

right now I wait the feedback from someone experienced on freecad, by the afternoon I should have more answers 🫡

Update : So using Freecad, I recreated the solid while simplifying the geometry. The coil is now not a cylinder but a half cylinder with straight line perpendicular to the resistor's wall. I then imported the geometry into Salome to start meshing. I did a first draft for laminar flow, shall show it here or in the "meshing" channel ? (I might have questions later for boundary layers) https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/397871939949166613/1322883497844805734/image.png?ex=67727ec3&is=67712d43&hm=70303ee71bf4ec7bc7d0b485a1f800cc51a183eaded1ef91f02bf9a340b3a803&

happy to hear that you avance! you can in which ever, or continue with the same thread (you could create a thread of your geometry) or changing as the subject changes, people do as they thing is better there is not a clear way XD

[SALOME 9.14] new release of salome for the moment there is not a release notes updated over the webpage, but once downloaded the release notes pdf is inside the tar file.

happy @otaolafr having a good monday 😁

lol it released friday, but didnt remember that the releases notes were in the tar file so I didnt knew what was new. and no.... if you think the OF release was overwhelming, the salome one was way more.....

Can you post the pdf of the release notes please?

Totally

Openfoam shouod be integrated into salome.. for windows

There is so many things to integrate to Salome before openfoam. Also they have their own cfd solver which lowers even more this..., 😅

I was not about to install code saturn cfd extension in salome . Salome is good but useless if there is no integration with opensource cfd tools.

For FreeCAD: https://wiki.freecad.org/CfdOF_Workbench

If I want to run gmsh in FreeCAD on Ubuntu, what is the easiest install route? snap install does not see gmsh..

can you install salome with aptitude, is the package kept up to date?

Nothing outside of the direct downloads from the main page is up to date

yeah, that looks to be the case, I went with freecad since I only want to make geometry primitives, and all my mesh work will be with blockmesh and snappyhexmesh

Another invite pls 🙏

I really dont get why the invitation links expires.... this happens all the time XD https://discord.gg/tRbEz9BG

thank you thakn you 🙏

It is to avoid overpopulation of servers by casual joining/shady bots over long time through these forgotten links.
