# meshing
  • y
    I never managed to get this working but I'd be interested to know if it works for you!
  • f
    get it working... what do you mean when it doesnt work
  • f
    Because the thing is that SHM resolved the issue somehow, although it did say that there were 8 regions.
  • y
    I did have issues with extra regions before and ``-sloppyCellZones`` didn't make a difference for me (could be because it doesn't do what I expect it to do, or I didn't use it correctly, no idea)
  • f
    If a cell zone gets split into more than one region it can detect the largest matching region (-sloppyCellZones). This will accept any region that covers more than 50% of the zone. It has to be a subset so cannot have any cells in any other zone.
  • f
    Not sure what it actually means
  • f
    Yeah why not, I will just use the cellZones I created. Those are the ones I get from the mesh. Then those remaining cells are some error during meshing. So I do not want these cells. If I want to resolve the problem it must be somewhere during meshing.
  • f
    I had this problem all the way from the start when I went with finer and finer meshes.
  • y
    Make sure it is removed or empty. (I think I had some issues before where I had non-empty extra patches)
  • f
    Copy code
    1
(
    conductor_to_background
    {
        type            directMappedWall;
        nFaces          3900778;
        startFace       30926539;
        closedSolidBodyMotion false;
        sampleMode      nearestPatchFace;
        sampleRegion    background;
        samplePatch     background_to_conductor;
        offset          (0 0 0);
    }
)
    nope no problem there
  • f
    it just works as expected, no weird additional boundaries.
  • y
    good news!
  • f
    for now 🥲
  • f
    homage to cfd
  • f
    good news (for now)
  • y
    it grants you the opportunity to run into new errors in the next step 😬
  • t
    They don't need to give sources to their own in-house custom libraries. My guess is they distribute their own libs as binary only, and rest of OF in source form to comply with GPL. So, their modified Snappy has a line that says 
    doTheInHouseMagicalLayerAddition()
    and that's all you see.
  • y
    Probably yes. They have a page about licensing here https://www.iconcfd.com/osl/
  • f
    Copy code
    If iconCFD is Open Source, Can I Download It For Free?

No. The GPL licenses allow anyone to redistribute binary copies of the Open Source portions of iconCFD, but don’t compel anyone to do so. At present we choose to provide copies only to our customers.
  • f
    This is open source with the door almost shut
  • o
    so no 
    sed -i "s|varX|varXNew|g"  $file
    ? snif snif
  • t
    This is very typical modern OSS business model. Actually that quote is a bit off-set. The GPL requires that IF you redistribute binaries, you MUST redistribute sources, too. If it's GPL licensed, that is.
  • b
    umm its not there, all i could find is just the recreations of the object and not the domain? whihc i think is not an issue as you can just call on the sphere object with different radii within snappy
  • b
    something like this perhaps?
  • b

  • b
    blockMeshDict given at the end, but its not for a spheroid, though i guess i can tweak it
