Hi, thank you for your contribution. I would like to know how do you convert ICEM mesh and Turbogrid mesh to Open FOAM format

A common way to do that is to write out in Fluent *.msh format and then use fluentMeshToFoam or fluent3dMeshToFoam to convert it to OpenFOAM format.

As Håkan explained, we usually export an ICEM case to Fluent's *.msh format and then convert them into OpenFOAM format through fluent3DMeshToFoam. In the case of TurboGrid, the mesh is first sent to ICEM and then exported to Fluent format.

Just make sure to write an ASCII file *.msh file when exporting with ICEM as OpenFOAM's fluent3DMeshToFoam cannot handle binary files.
