Do this if your latex is not working after you’ve upgraded Ubuntu to 14.04 LTS.
Un-install Latex
sudo apt-get remove texlive
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo apt-get remove tex-common –purge
Install Latex
sudo apt-get install texlive-full
Install Latex editor (if you don’t have)
sudo apt-get install texmaker
This post explains briefly how can we get a smooth mesh when using the snappyHexMesh in OpenFOAM 2.0.
The main ingredient is the ‘surfaceFeatureExtract’ utility.
Here are the steps:
1- blockMesh: the BCs can be defined here, example: inlet and outlet patches.
2- extract the surface edge from the .stl file, example: tank.stl
command : “surfaceFeatureExtract -includedAngle 150 -writeObj constant/triSurface/tank.stl features”
this utiliy will create .eMesh file in /constant/triSurface/ : example tank.eMesh
3- in the snappyHexMeshDict, edge refinement is made by referring the eMesh file name, example: tank.eMesh.
4- run the snappyHexmesh utility.
Enjoy!
