error in exporting mesh..urgent help needed

sudeep · February 4, 2011, 05:14

I am a new user of Fluent. Currently I`m using Fluent 6.3.26 and GAMBIT 2.3.16. I`m modeling a supersonic nozzle problem using Solver FLUENT 5/6. Unfortunately, I got this error " ERROR: volume sphere1 has higher order elements and cannot be exported to fluent 5 format. the mesh file was not created."
Please help me. Thanks in advance!

Did you increase, in Gambit, the value of nodes in Set Volume Element Type?
If you did: set it at lowest value.
> default set "MESH.NODES.HEX" numeric 8

Thank you but its a 2D mesh..I have attached a pic of the meshing.

Correcting the volume element type will also correct face et edge element type (automatically)
But did you increase, in Gambit, the value of nodes in Set Volume Element Type , Set Face Element Type or Set Edge Face Element Type?
