Trying to import a star-ccm+ mesh into Fluent

jwillie2000 · September 26, 2012, 08:46

Hi Everyone,

I am looking at the possibility of creating a mesh in star-ccm+ and then importing it into Fluent. Any one on this forum with an idea of how that can be done? Is there a format i could store it in to enable me to bring it into Fluent? Your thoughts and suggestions would be highly appreciated.

Thanks!
Jimmy

It depends on the type of cells in your mesh. If you have hex, tet and prism only, with 1 by 1 connectivity you can use Nastran Format.

Otherwise use star4toFoam and then FoamToFluent.
