Hi to all!
I'm trying to export a geometry from "processing" to "OpenFOAM". I wrote the following files based on my cell-mesh configuration: "points", "boundary", "faces", "owner" and "neighbour". The resulting mesh gives error in some cases or return to me a tangled mesh in paraFoam with only tri and quad faces.
Thinking that the problem was due to the fact that my cells are polyhedral I decided to try with a "cells" file instead of "owner" and "neighbour". (Is it right?)
My problem is now: how to write a "cells" file?
I tried something like this:

FoamFile
{
version 2.0;
format ascii;
class cellList;
location "constant/polyMesh";
object cells;
}

437
(
7(0 1 2 3 4 5 6) //0
9(7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15) //1
9(16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24) //2
11(25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35) //3
9(36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44) //4

...

8(715 716 717 718 719 720 721 722) //65
6(723 724 725 726 727 728) //66
11(729 730 731 732 733 734 735 736 737 738 739) //67
9(740 741 742 743 744 745 746 747 748) //68
7(749 750 751 752 753 754 755) //69
)

and after calling paraFoam it returns to me the error:

--> FOAM FATAL IO ERROR:
incorrect first token, expected '(', found on line 82 the punctuation token ')'

file: /home/alessandro/.processing/sketchbook/ProcessingToOpenFOAM_01/OpenFoam/constant/polyMesh/cells at line 82.

From function operator>>(Istream&, List<T>&)
in file lnInclude/ListIO.C at line 132.

FOAM exiting

someone can help me?
thanks
Alessandro

ops, I found the error, the number of cells was wrong at the beginning of list

but now it gives to me a different error. After launching paraFoam, when i click on the eye-icon of my mesh the program crash. This is the output from terminal:

there is something wrong in my process? I'm new of paraFoam, isn't it sufficient to write files of the "constant/polyMesh" folder? I also copied from a tutorial case "0", "constant" and "system" folder changing (when necessary) names of boundaries in some files.
