[Commercial meshers] problems with .msh mesh

paulovss · August 31, 2011, 13:45

Hello,
I'm having trouble converting a mesh. msh . In the terminal window of my case, when I type the command gmshToFoam, it appears:
-> FOAM FATAL IO ERROR:
wrong token type - expected word found on line 0 the punctuation token '('

file: IStringStream.sourceFile at line 0.

From function operator>> (istream &, & word)

FOAM exiting

what it means and how can I solve this problem? I am new to OpenFoam. Thank you.
