[Commercial meshers] ICEM CFD mesh to another open source finite element solver

srobin11 · July 9, 2013, 15:11

hello,

I just wonder can the mesh generated by icem cfd be readable in any other open source finite element solver like openfoam or etc. written in c++ ?
Thanks,

DW

yes it should be.
If I remember, you can select your solver in ICEM for the mesh export.
So, selecting fluent solver may give you the possibility to use the fluentMeshToFoam or fluent3DMeshToFoam utilities for mesh conversion
