GmshToFoam
 

Hi

I am trying to convert the "CubeVer1.msh" (present in $FOAM_UTILITIES/mesh/conversion/gmshToFoam/). I created a case gmshTest in $FOAM_RUN/tutorials/icoFoam/ and then executed the following command

gmshToFoam $FOAM_RUN/tutorials/icoFoam/ gmshTest $FOAM_RUN/tutorials/icoFoam/gmshTest/CubeVer1.msh

and got the following output

After running the solver, I use the followign command for opeining the case in paraFoam

paraFoam $FOAM_RUN/tutorials/icoFoam/ gmshTest

When I click accept, paraFoam crashes with folowing error:

I am new to OpenFoam. I will be extremely grateful if somebody could help.

Thanks

Hi

Varun, I am new user of OpenFOAM and I have the same problem. How I will solve this? COuld you please help me?

Thanks

Maybe you forgot some semicolon - ';' at the end of line in you 0/p file.
Additionally, when executing gmshToFoam on you *.msh file, you need to do some minor changes in your constant/polymesh/boundary file (change patch types, ...).

So for start, please post your:
-/home/vxv/OpenFOAM/varun-1.3/run/tutorials/icoFoam//gmshTest/0/p
-/home/vxv/OpenFOAM/varun-1.3/run/tutorials/icoFoam//gmshTest/constant/polymesh/boundary
files, to see if there are some corrections needed.

Gmsh
 

Dear friends,

Could you please see my attached files. You will find my cubic.geo, cubic.msh, and 0/p , 0/U files.

Thanks

Hi all,

Was there a solution to this problem I am having similar difficulties, I tried to copy the bubbleFoam tutorial folder and copied my .msh file into the case directory and ran gmshToFoam from this directory.
I get the following output:

What corrections would be required in ploymesh/boundary and 0/p files?

What are unhandled elements? And what has caused undefined faces to occur?

I forgot to mention running paraFoam crashed and I got the following error:
