Set parameters for snappyHexMeshDict. Read more about snappyHexMeshDict here:

Inputs

  • meshQuality [Default]

    Use 0-2 to auto generate the parameters for meshQualityControls

  • castellatedMesh [Default]

    Set to True to castellated mesh (default: True).

  • snap [Default]

    Set to True to snap mesh to the surfaces (default: True).

  • addLayers [Default]

    Set to True to push mesh away from surfaces and add layers (default: False).

  • nCellsBetweenLevels [Default]

    Script variable snappyHexMeshDict

  • maxGlobalCells [Default]

    An intger for the maximum number of global cells (default: 2000000).

  • surfaceFeatureLevel [Default]

    An integer for the extract features refinement. Default is None which

    means implicit meshing feature will be used.

  • expansionRatio [Default]

    Layers expansion ration (default: 1.1)

  • finalLayerThickness [Default]

    Thickness of final layer (default: 0.7)

  • minThickness [Default]

    Minimum thickness for layers (default: 0.1).

  • nLayerIter [Default]

    Overall max number of layer addition iterations. The mesher

    will exit if it reaches this number of iterations; possibly with an

    illegal mesh (default: 50).

  • additionalParameters [Optional]

    Additional parameters as a valid c++ dictionary. Additional values

    will overwrite the values from the other inputs above.

Outputs

  • snappyHexMeshDict

    Butterfly snappyHexMeshDict.
