Hi forum

UNV mesh converter succeeds in converting nodes and cells of .unv from SALOME, but fails while building patches of some meshes.

The message is :

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks in advance

What is the difference between files that work and those that don't? In the source directory ($FOAM_UTILITIES/mesh/conversion/ideasUnvToFoam/) there is a unv/ subdirectory with some sample files.

Dear Mattijs

Thanks for your advise : I compared sample .unv files with mine and found out that ideasUnvToFoam failure was caused by useless groups of nodes (Entity code = 7 instead of 8)

Everything runs fine now

Best wishes

Dear Michael

- activate Mesh module (scroll list or mesh icon)
- develop your mesh tree completely
--> you should find "Group of Nodes" and "Goup of Faces"
- right mouse button on each group of nodes names and delete them

SALOME in line help is quite nice, have a look inside

Otherwise you might try removing in your .unv file all the lines with entity code 7. It may work, I did not try

Best wishes

Hi,

do you have a sample file that fails? I'll fix it in the converter itself.

Thanks. I pushed a fix to 1.6.x so it can read your file and I've added your file as an example to the unv/ subdirectory.

You need to supply the complete filename as an argument. This does not sound like a bug so please move this discussion off this OpenFOAM-bugs forum and into e.g. the preprocessing forum.

Hi,


It seems there is a problem in ideasUnvToFoam with foam-Extended fork.


The foam can read the polyMesh folder (it works for me for many cases but not 100% sure) which has been generated using OpenFoam forks.
So, you may use ideasUnvToFoam with OpenFoam then copy the folder.
