I have spent some time on this forum reading but cant see any consistent answers.

I have a .msh (gmsh 2.4.1) file of a sail that I want to put in OpenFoam. I have tried gmshToFoam but obviously that won't work with gmsh version >1.9.

Has anyone successfully done an import and how?
Or is there another way that I can do this? (Have .STL file)

I am in the process of learning this myself. I will let you know what I find out.

Are you using the binary version or the git version?

Maybe this forum will help:

Hi James and Eric,

Perhaps it doesn't make sense, but have you tried fluentMeshToFoam? My Gambit/Fluent meshes with .msh extension happily convert with that.
