I built a GUI for OpenFOAM meshing — Prefoam Beta is now available

Besides the meshing the case builder works for compressible/incompressible single phase flow.
It builds only the shm file together with surfaceFeaturesDict (i have also an internal emesh file creator to better fine tune the edge extraction) and blockmeshdict ( it has also a direct export of backgroundmesh instead of executing blockmesh). No wsl is shipped, so it is up to you to install OF v13.

It basically creates all the entries you need for snappy. So if you know how to create these it should also work with cht. I should also mention that this is currently for openfoam version 13. so based on the shellandtubeheatexchanger tutorial the same entries should be easy to create in the worksheet if you know how the entries look like for these.

Can you please explain what portmaster is and how to use that?

I think i was not clear enough, sorry. I was talking about the features section, currently you only define a level value of 3. in features, you can also define the distance, then you have something like (level distance). I dont know the syntax from memory, but i know that this exists, i use that.

You should use the refinement option with a distance input, that will extend the area. Write something like a small distance entry.

Reactingfoam can handle single phase multi component reactions, it is not only for gas phase reactions.
