Hello everyone, I would like to know why I am having trouble with a Mesh I've imported from ICEM using fluentMeshToFoam. It seems the mesh doesn't have problems but after running checkMesh a failed mesh check message appears. I have used OpenFOAM for about five months so I am still learning. Any advice I'd appreciate! This is the checkmesh file:

Create polyMesh for time = constant

Time = constant

Hi Jose,

I'm importing a mesh from ICEM as well using fluent3DMeshToFoam and have the same error message upon running checkMesh, I wanted to ask if you managed to solve the problem. And if so, could you give me some help as to how you did it?

Thank you for your time.

Best,
Vasu

I stopped using OpenFOAM, I could not find a solution to that problem, it seems it was a problem with the mesh orientation.

Hey Jose,

That's too bad, thanks for the reply.

Can I just ask if you were using an axi-symmetric case by any chance? And what solver did you use finally if you dont mind me asking?

Best,
Vasu
