Ccm problem conversion
 

hi,

i try to use mesh done with starcd at ccm format
this mesh work in starcd and have done results

i try to use it with openfoam but i have got a lot of mistakes


Checking topology...
Boundary definition OK.
Point usage OK.

***Faces not in upper triangular order.
<<Writing 1 unordered faces to set upperTriangularFace

Topological cell zip-up check OK.
Face vertices OK.

***Number of duplicate (not baffle) faces found: 3
***Number of faces with non-consecutive shared points: 15
<<Writing 34 faces with incorrect edges to set edgeFaces

Number of regions: 1 (OK).

hecking geometry...

Max cell openness = 3.00293e-16 OK.

Minumum face area = 1.17018e-10. Maximum face area = 3.77982e-05. Face area magnitudes OK.
Min volume = 6.32778e-15. Max volume = 2.91443e-07. Total volume = 0.0121013. Cell volumes OK.

Face flatness (1 = flat, 0 = butterfly) : average = 0.990754 min = 0.0140377

Failed 5 mesh checks.

how is it possible to have a skewness of 41.92 and a max non-orthogonality of 120?

are there some mistakes that don't prevent the computation?

is it possible to correct some mistakes with openFoam?

is there a starcd format which is better for conversion?

best regards
