Exporting with boundaries to OpenFoam

Coreform Cubit Importing/Exporting

I’m trying to export a mesh with boundaries to OpenFoam, but when I export it it only exports the mesh points, not the boundaries. It’s possible I’m making boundaries wrong, as well, as I’m a complete beginner, but I’ve been using CFD walls, inlets, and outlets. The output of the boundaries file is below.

FoamFile

{
version 2.0;
format ascii;
class polyBoundaryMesh;
object boundary;
}

        startFace 5385;
    }
)

I don’t have a lot of experience with OpenFOAM export. I’ll ask around and see if I can find an answer.

Here is what I heard.

I’m aware that there is a problem with Openfoam’s output. I’ve probably reported it.

As a workaround, I think it would be better to output the mesh in fluent format and convert it with a tool like fluentMeshToFoam. In fact, I think it would be better to fix the bug.

Yes, there is a bug. I have someone looking into it.
