[Commercial meshers] mesh conversion from ansys mesher to openfoam

Dusan1224 · November 4, 2015, 05:08

hi, i made tetrahedral mesh include influence layer in ansys meshing and tried to convert into openfoam, but this message appeared. its not my first mesh conversion from ansys, some of them converted good, so i need to know, if is the geometry of mesh wrong ,or whare could be posibly problem?
ps. i used comands fluentMeshToFoam, and also tried ansysToFoam, and both times it wrote me same error:

--> FOAM FATAL IO ERROR:
wrong token type - expected word, found on line 25 the label 800

file: /home/supermicro/Dusan_K/cfd/openfoam/ref_zak_podlaha_2D_C/system/controlDict.startFrom at line 25.

From function operator>>(Istream&, word&)
in file primitives/strings/word/wordIO.C at line 74.

FOAM exiting

Did you read the message? You have something weird in your controlDict for the entry startFrom. At the very least you should have uploaded your controlDict here.

Thx a lot. I used this "template" many times without problem, so i didnt even think there could be error. i checked the document, and starting time was changed from "latestTime" to "800" ( from previos simulation) . but i didnt think this could cause to error while import mesh
