Hii,

I am having problem in running OF case for a simple rectangular channel, the grid being generated in ICEM and converted to OF format by fluentMeshToFoam utility (the mesh being first converted to .msh from ICEM).

The error I'm getting is:

Create time

Create mesh for time = 0


Reading transportProperties

Reading field p

Can someone please offer me any help regarding this?

My aim is to run ICEM generated grids with OF. Can someone doing the same help me with the steps?


Thanking You,
