Problem encountered in converting Fluent mesh to OpenFOAM Mesh
 

Hello!

My name is Sathya, I am new to using OpenFOAM. I tried converting a .msh file to a foam mesh, and encountered the following error message:

I dont know how to deal with this problem :(, Any advice would be appreciated, thank you :)
I converted a icem mesh to a .msh format, before attempting the mesh conversion. (Just for information)

You need to save the mesh in ASCII format, did you try this?

Hello,
Thanks so much, the mesh conversion works now :)
