OpenFoam: Cannot find blockMeshDict file in polyMesh folder

Question

Using the command terminal, I try to access the blockMeshDict file from the docker. I access the cavity folder, constant folder, then polyMesh folder. I know the blockMeshDict file is supposed to be within the polyMesh folder, but when I enter 'ls' to view what the polyMesh folder contains, it shows files "points", "owner", "boundary", "faces" and "neighbor", as shown in the first screenshot I uploaded.

I then tried another path by first going into the tutorials folder, which is shown in the second screenshot I uploaded. From tutorials, I went to incompressible -> icoFoam -> cavity -> constant -> polyMesh. But the polyMesh folder only contained "TransportProperties" as shown in the screenshot.

In short, please help me find the blockMeshDict file. enter image description here

Answer 1

blockMeshDict moved to the system directory in V3.0 so you should find it in there.

You can also use the find command from within the case directory to locate "missing" files, something like this:

    find . -name blockMeshDict
