I have a cfx mesh generated with icem cfd for cfx version 10.0.

Does anybody know if it is convertible with cfxToFoam. I the orignial icem cfd file generated for cfx(extension .cfx5) or the cfx mesh file imported into cfx(extension .gtm).

cfxToFoam has been written to deal with the .geo file extension for CFX. When I wrote it, the current version of CFX was CFX-4 and the file looks something like this:


wooster*110-> more exampleGeom.geo
/* GEOMETRY FILE FOR CFX-4 FROM CFX-MESHBUILD */
2 4 1 16 54 /* NBLOCK,NPATCH,NGLUE,NELEM,NPOINT */
/* BLOCK NAMES AND SIZE (NI,NJ,NK) */
BLOCK-NUMBER-1 2 2 2
BLOCK-NUMBER-2 2 2 2
/* PATCH TYPE, NAME, NO., RANGE, DIREC, BLK NO, AND LABEL */
BLKBDY GLUE-PATCH----1HIGH-K-BLK---1- 1
1 2 1 2 2 2 3 1 1
BLKBDY GLUE-PATCH----2HIGH-I-BLK---2- 2
2 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 1
INLET AN_INLET 3

1 1 1 2 1 2 4 2 1
/* BLOCK TO BLOCK GLUEING INFORMATION */
1 2 3 5 4 1
/* VERTEX CO-ORDS (X,Y,Z) FOR BLOCK 1 */
0.000000E+00 0.000000E+00 -0.400000E+01
0.200000E+01 0.000000E+00 -0.400000E+01
0.400000E+01 0.000000E+00 -0.400000E+01

etc.

I am not aware of the file format changes since then - have a look at your file and see if it makes sense.

Enjoy,

Hrv

with more command the .gtm file information is not readable.
And I don't know if i can edit it into something like the above .geo file.

I am thinking whether it is good way to convert .gtm file first into .ans or star mesh file and then convert to it to Foam file...

Now I haven't the CFX-4 version.
