Star-Meshes to Fluent

March 4, 2009, 07:28

Hi,

does anybody knows about a workaround how to get StarV4-Meshes (arbitrary elements) to Fluent by keeping Table entry organization (e.g. different cell types in Star should end up in different volume zones in Fluent) ?

Thanks

(I'll post this in the Star forum as well)

AFAIK there is no "official" way to do this. Is the v4-Mesh already a polyheadral mesh? (cptransform run if there are couples?) If this is the case the only way I know about is using OpenFOAM to do this. However, this is not straightforward.

Regards.
