Remarks Concerning OpenFOAM

The mesh can be written in OpenFOAM polyMesh format with the command ``send''. If you work in the polyMesh-directory of the OpenFOAM case then all mesh-related files will be already in place. So far the physical-type is not written in the boundary file as it is not mandatory. The results of an OpenFOAM calculation can be viewed by specifying the parameter -foam and the case. See also ``Program Parameters''.

Problems might occur when using the base-type cyclic. By default OpenFOAM requires a very high accuracy for the cyclic patches which cgx can not always produce. For the moment the only way to solve this problem is to soften the accuracy of OpenFOAM in cyclicFvPatch::makeWeights() in file ``OpenFOAM/meshes/fvMesh/fvPatches/derivedFvPatches/cyclicFvPatch/cyclicFvPatch.C''.
