Sometimes it's good to know that this aint no't one of my problems

Thanks for the help

An idea to put an explanation under #525651635142393856 ?

anyone around having a good snappyHexMeshDict?

better than motorbike base file at least?

``polyFoamMesh`` by Lorenzo Riti: a polyhedral mesher for OpenFOAM, based on GMSH and cfMesh https://github.com/LorenzoRiti/PolyFoamMesh

I won't try it, but dropping it here just in case some of you find it useful

Tried running it with my complex geometry but it was failing to load the step file. But it looks really interesting, so will try again some time later

big news, curious to try it on my not thaaaaat complex geometry

the friby

omg omg omg omg

how do I donate

also I hope its not just a wrapper for cfMesh poly cells meshing

well, I'm afraid... (the readme it reads like there's a lot of emphasis on GUI and user-friendliness, not so much on meshing robustness)

but from what I can read its not that bad

I'll try it with my next one-off

cfMeshs polymesh was bad because it too fucking forever and gave a pretty meh mesh.

this looks like it uses gmsh to generate triangles and then generate the poly cells from that

which is industry standard as far as I am aware

ANSYS does the same anyway

It's all fun and games until you need boundary layers

true statement

i 'tested' but i couldnt get it to work with a step file in linux. the instructions are mostly for windows with wps

well....

removed the best_defects > 0 gate in both files — the smoother is keep-best by construction, so this can only help or leave the mesh unchanged. Measured on the cylinder (real checkMesh): max non-orthogonality 51.3° → 41.7° (-19%), max skewness 1.53 → 1.28 (-16%). Aspect ratio essentially unchanged (4.43 → 4.46) — snappyHexMesh still wins on all three metrics, this closes PART of the gap, not all of it.

so:

aspect ratio 3.02 vs 4.46, max non-orthogonality 29.1° vs 41.7°, max skewness 0.86 vs 1.28

would be curious how it behaves witht he tkeskita smoother.

What is this exactly, can you give a little bit more context?

it is in part of the read me in the git

ah
