Exporting mesh and materials file with openfoam

Coreform Cubit Meshing
#1

Hello I am trying to export a mesh using in the openfoam format.

I am using this python command

short_output_location=‘openfoam’
cubit.cmd(‘export openfoam ‘+short_output_location+’ overwrite’)

This successfuly creates a boundary, faces ,neighbour, owner and points file

Unfortunately it does not make a materials file

I am assigning materials in trelis using this python command

material_name=steel
cubit.cmd(“block 1 material '” +material_name+"’")

However it is not being carried over to the openfoam export

any advice on fixing this so the material of each element is also exported would be great

cheers

Jon

Unfortunately, materials are not currently supported in the OpenFOAM exporter. We have added this to the development plan.

There have been no additional enhancements for OpenFOAM support.
