"star4ToFoam" converts vrt/cel/bnd files that use pro-STAR v4.x format. "ccm26ToFoam" converts ccm geometry files (ccmg) and is normally found under applications/utilities/mesh/conversion/Optional. Be aware that it may not handle separate calculation domains (eg, fluid/solid/porosity) very nicely though. If you experience any strange problems, you might also try simply saving the mdl as ASCII to get the vrt/cel/bnd files and use star2ToFoam. |

Open pro-STAR, use "Save As Coded". |

Hi,
Where shall I copy the wmakeFiles? I copied it into OpenFOAM-1.6.x but the ccm26ToFoam still don't work. Have I to modify "files" and "options"? Thanks Andrea

Hi,
I have other questions about Star VS OF (sorry but I don't know Star). 1) I translated the .ccmg file in OF with ccm26ToFoam and it's quite ok. I have strange cellZones into my shell. Can I delete them? 2) My .mdl come from Star CCM+. Can I save it "as coded" with Star CCM+ to get the vrt/cel/bnd files? 3) I tried to re-translate the OF mesh with foamToStar and OF created the vrt/cel/bnd files. Can I open them with Star CCM+? Is it possible to translate the OF mesh in .nas (or .stl) format? Thanks Andrea

Use the EnSight-Format If you want to postprocess StarCD cases with paraview. It might work. |

Hello,
I would like to know how StarCCM+ works, what file it creates, etc... Can I only translate mesh from StarCD in OF or is there also a way to translate mesh from StarCCM+ in OF? Thanks for any reply

You export a ccm-File from CCM+ and use "ccm26ToFoam".

Thank you Joern!
Ok, I know "ccm26ToFoam". And for the converse way? How can I export a mesh from OF to StarCCM+? Thanks

CCM+ can read fluent data. So use for instance "foamToFluent". Other ways are also possible.
