Hello friends,
I am generating hexahedral grid for a rectangular channel using blockMesh utility. The problem is after the generation of the mesh when I am trying to sketch the faces which are created in the polymesh folder using the cooardinates of the pointx associated with the face, I found some face irregular in shape (It should be rectangular). Can you please tell me why this is happening?

Could you please share the blockMeshDict file?

00Hi Sourav,
I executed your blockMesh file and it ran without any problems. The geometry, when viewed in ParaView, did not have any non-rectangular faces either. Did you try viewing your geometry in ParaView?

Ashley
Hi Ashley,
When I checked the mesh using paraview it shows no problem but when I create the cell face using the coordinates of the points associated with the face located at faces.c in polymesh folder I able to see this irregularity. Can you please tell me the cause of this problem?
Hi Sourav,
Could you please share the snippet of the faces file (in polymesh folder), where you are seeing the irregularity?

0Hi Ashley,
If you generate the polymesh folder using blockMesh command of OPENFOAM the face.c file will create.
Hi Sourav,
Can you please tell me how did you confirm if the faces defined in the faces file is rectangular or not? The faces file has the list of faces defined by the points. There will be numerous points, depending upon your meshing parameters. How did you identify the coordinates of the points to check if it's rectangular or not?
