can anybody tell me how to convert my .mesh file in OF ? i know the command but can anybody tell me in detail ... what i have to do in fluent to make it ASCII ?

export your mesh file .msh from Gambit (you don't have to do anything with Fluent)
Then in OF, just use the command fluentMeshToFoam or fluent3DMeshToFoam

helo max ,
i tried to follow above said but while executing the conversion following error is coming .....Create time

fileName::stripInvalid() called for invalid fileName UntitledFolder
For debug level (= 2) > 1 this is considered fatal
Aborted (core dumped)



and i tried it with changing the mesh file name also but its not working ....
