What version of FLUENT?

VERSION 4.3

I'm a novice user so hope I'm not pointing out the obvious, but have had the same message before and may be able to help. I'm using a later version with gambit as the pre-processor, but in gambit you have to make sure you save and export a mesh file. After going into Fluent, you have to import it by asking it to read a case file, and then select the correct mesh file. Hope this is of some help.
