Fluent Mesh (XP32) to OpenFoam
Hello!
I am new with OF and have just run some tutorial examples up to now. Recently I wanted to start my own simulations and compare them to ansys results.
I have created a model geometry and Mesh in Ansys Worbench 12 ( where Fluent is included) on a WinXp32 machine and exported a .msh file from fluent. In the Fluent launcher I've added the environment Variable
AWP_WRITE_FLUENT_MESH_ASCII=1
Restarting the machine on Ubuntu i execute
Code:
$dos2unix -b myMesh.msh
When I compare the converted file and the backup in GEDIT it looks exactly the same (is that the way it should be even after the conversion ?).
Then I've tried to convert the Mesh with fluentMeshToFoam , because it's a 2D Mesh
Code:
$ fluentMeshToFoam quader2_envVarFluent.msh

being curious I' also tried fluent3DMeshToFoam which gave me

$ fluent3DMeshToFoam quader3D_EnvVarFluent.msh

Mesh is not 3D, dimension of grid: 0
From function fluent3DMeshToFoam
in file fluent3DMeshToFoam.L at line 824.
FOAM exiting
So the conversion routine recognizes the wrong dimension that is to say 0 instead of 2D.
Does anyone have an idea what could be wrong ? How to check if the ASCII export was done properly ?
The file is on a windows ntfs partition which I access from ubuntu which was installed on another partition.
Thank you for your help! |
