Time Narration
00:01 Hello and welcome to the spoken tutorial on Exporting the geometry from Salome to OpenFOAM.
00:09 In this tutorial, we will see : To group the meshed geometry parts in Salome

To export the geometry to OpenFOAM. To create a case directory for simulation and

To view the geometry in ParaView.

00:26 To record this tutorial, I am using: Linux operating system, Ubuntu version 12.10 OpenFOAM version 2.1.1 ParaView version 3.12.0

Salome version 6.6.0

00:41 To practice this tutorial, the learner should first perform the tutorial on Creating and meshing a Curved-Pipe Geometry in Salome.
00:52 Open Salome as shown in the previous tutorial. Go to file >> Open. Go to Desktop. Click on Curved-geometry.hdf.
01:04 Press Open. Go to mesh-module from Modules drop-down option.
01:12 Open the 'Mesh' tree from the object Browser.
01:17 Right-click on Mesh_1. Click on Show. We see the mesh on the geometry is visible.
01:28 Let me close the python console window.
01:32 Now, we have to name the meshed geometry parts as we require it in OpenFOAM.
01:39 To create Groups on this mesh, right-click on Mesh_1 and click on Create Group.
01:48 Select the Element Type as Face. Select the Group type as Group on Geometry.
01:57 Click on the button in front of Geometrical Object and select Direct Geometrical Selection.
02:07 Open the 'Geometry' tree in the Object Browser. Open the pipe_1 tree and select the inlet group in the geometry tree that we had created in the previous tutorial.
02:22 You can select the color as red.
02:26 Name the group as inlet. Click on Apply and close. inlet group is seen in the tree.
02:37 Similarly, create the outlet group. I have created the outlet group.
02:44 Now, to create the group of the whole outer surface, right-click on mesh_1 >> Create group .
02:53 Select the Element Type as Face and the Group Type as Group on filter.
03:00 Click on Set filter. Click on the Add button. In the drop-down option below Criterion menu, select Free Faces. Click on Apply and Close.
03:17 You can change the color to blue.
03:23 Again click on Apply and Close. Group_1 has been created.
03:31 Now, in the mesh menu at the top, click on Cut groups. Select the Main object as Group_1. Select the Tool object as inlet.
03:45 Hold the shift key on your keyboard and also select the Tool object as outlet.
03:54 Type the Result name as walls.
03:58 You can select the color as purple. click on Apply and Close. We see walls group has been created.
04:10 Right-click on Group_1 and delete this group as we do not want to see it in OpenFOAM.
04:20 Save the work by clicking on save document option.
04:24 Now, right-click on mesh_1. Go to Export >> Unv File.
04:33 Name the file as bentpipe. I am saving this file on the Desktop. Close Salome. We see bentpipe.unv file on the desktop.
04:50 Create a folder named "bentpipe" on the desktop.
04:55 Now, move "bentpipe.unv" file to this folder.
05:01 To perform simulation on this geometry in OpenFOAM using icoFoam solver, go to the icoFoam folder in OpenFOAM.
05:10 For the location of this folder, go to the tutorial on lid driven cavity.
05:15 Copy and Paste the "bentpipe" folder on the desktop, in this icoFoam folder.
05:22 Also, copy the system folder from the cavity folder to this bentpipe folder.
05:32 Now, go inside this bentpipe folder throgh command terminal. I am inside the bentpipe folder.
05:41 Type "ls" and press Enter. We see the systemfolder and the bentpipe.unv file.
05:49 Now, type: ideasUnvToFoam space bentpipe dot unv. Note that U, T and F are capital. Press Enter.
06:11 Now, type "ls". We see constant folder has been created. Type cd (space) Constant.
06:23 Type cd (space) polyMesh. Type "ls". Press Enter.
06:31 We see geometry files have been created. Come out of the polyMesh folder.
06:38 Come out of the constant folder.
06:42 Now, to convert the geometry scale to centimeters, type: transformPoints (space) -scale space '(0.01 space 0.01 space 0.01)' and press Enter. The Geometry has been converted to centimeters.
07:17 Minimize the terminal. Go inside the bentpipe folder.
07:23 Go inside the constant folder. We see that the transportProperties file is not there.
07:30 Copy the transportProperties file from the cavity folder and save it inside the constant folder.
07:37 I have copied the transport Properties file. Now, come out of the constant folder.
07:44 We need the 0 (zero) folder having 'P' and 'U' files.Copy the '0 '(zero) folder from the cavity folder.
07:55 I have copied the'0' (zero) folder. Go inside the '0' (zero) folder.
08:02 Open the 'p' file. Make sure that you give boundary patches for inlet, outlet and walls as we had created in Salome.
08:15 Erase movingWall and type "inlet". Erase fixedWalls and type "outlet".
08:25 Erase frontAndBack and type "walls". Save the file and Close the file.
08:34 Similarly, make changes in 'U' file. For appropriate boundary conditions, you can refer to the tutorial on Hagen-Poiseuille flow.
08:46 I have made the changes and given the appropriate boundary conditions.
08:51 You may also make the changes in transportProperties and ControlDict files by referring to the tutorial on Hagen-Poiseuille flow.
09:00 Let's close the Home folder.
09:03 Now, go to terminal. Type paraFoam. This will open ParaView. Click on Apply in the Object Inspector menu.
09:16 In the drop-down menu. click on Surface with Edges. Let's have a closer look by zooming in.
09:28 We see hexahedral mesh. We also see the groups have been created as we had named it in Salome- Inlet outlet and walls.
09:38 Volume inside the surface is automatically grouped as internal mesh.

In this tutorial, we have learned: How to group the meshed geometry parts in Salome

How to export the geometry to OpenFOAM. How to create a case directory for simulation

And, to view the geometry in ParaView.

10:00 For Assignment,Run the simulation by making appropriate changes in the files as described.

Export the geometries that you have created on your own. And, run the simulations on those geometries.
