FREEFOAM-TETGENTOFOAM(1) FreeFOAM Manual FREEFOAM-TETGENTOFOAM(1)

NAME

freefoam-tetgenToFoam - Converts .ele and .node and .face files, written by tetgen.

SYNOPSIS

freefoam tetgenToFoam <file prefix> [-help] [-srcDoc] [-noFaceFile] [-doc] [-parallel] [-case <dir>]

DESCRIPTION

Make sure to use add boundary attributes to the smesh file (5 fifth column in the element section) and run tetgen with -f option.
Sample smesh file: 
    # cube.smesh -- A 10x10x10 cube
    8 3
    1   0 0 0
    2   0 10 0
    3   10 10 0
    4   10 0 0
    5   0 0 10
    6   0 10 10
    7   10 10 10
    8   10 0 10
    6 1                 # 1 for boundary info present
    4   1 2 3 4 11  # region number 11
    4   5 6 7 8 21  # region number 21
    4   1 2 6 5 3
    4   4 3 7 8 43
    4   1 5 8 4 5
    4   2 6 7 3 65
    0

NOTE: - for some reason boundary faces point inwards. I just reverse them always. Might use some geometric check instead. - marked faces might not actually be boundary faces of mesh. This is hopefully handled now by first constructing without boundaries and then reconstructing with boundary faces.
