hi everyone

i am new to OpenFOAM 1.4.1...I did NACA 0012 Airfoil case in fluent,now i want to compare my results with OpenFOAM...can u tell me da procedure how to import fluent.msh file into OpenFOAM 1.4.1...AND ALSO THE PROCEDURE OF SOLVING AND POST-PROCESSING IN OPENFOAM 1.4.1...

Hi Naveen, please stop post
 
Hi Naveen,

please stop posting the same messages under almost all of the actual existing threads, your are spaming the email postboxes of a lot OF users!

If you are new to OF start with tutorials!

If you have problems with conversion Fluent to OF use the "Search" function!

hello Everyone
 
hi frds
i have some problem so plz help me
when i create 2D geometry & complete the mesh in Gambit then i go for fluentMeshToFoam .msh file then it should read & generate the mesh but it took automatically 3D so i cant found my proper streamfunction so plz help me how can i solve that problem

Openfoam extrudes the 2d mesh to 3d and creates a fontAndBack patch, which should be set to empty like:

Code:

    frontAndBack
    {
        type            empty;
    }

Look in tutorials/incompressible/simpleFoam/pitzDaily/0 folder to see how 2d geometries have empty boundary conditions. With a patch type of empty, the problem will be treated as 2d. Hope this helps.

hello everyone
 
hi
i m new user of openfoam201 i phase one difficulty when i solved cavity tutorials then i cant found such like fluent after achieving conversion limit, the program didn't stop. but when it reach end time it stop.

but i want to stop my program when it go beyond the conversion limit so what can i do for that?

plz help me

icoFoam is a time dependent solver so it will continue until endTime. If you want a steady state solver, look at simpleFoam. That solver can do both laminar and turbulent steady state flow.
