Development of a module for grinding meshes cells in several directions and its integration into the GUI for the OpenFOAM software environment

This article is devoted to the development of a software module that extends the source code of the graphical shell rCF_GUI, created by the author, and that allows automating one of the stages of a numerical experiment for the problems of continuum mechanics — grinding cells of computational meshes in several directions. This stage is performed as a part of preprocessing of a numerical experiment and determines the accuracy of the result (final numerical model). The goal of the study and the set of tasks for its achievement are formulated. The stack of technologies necessary for development of the module is defined, its block diagram and diagram describing the logic of use are presented. The implemented module is integrated into the current version of the graphical shell rCF_GUI, which is available in the public access on the GitHub service. The module's capabilities have been tested as a part of the research with the training task of continuum mechanics in the field of aerodynamics, which is a part of the OpenFOAM software environment distribution. The results of the study are summarized, its novelty and practical significance are revealed.
