[Commercial meshers] ICEM tetra mesh for OpenFoam -- CFD Online Discussion Forums

I got very very simple cases running but as the room geometry gets a bit more complex, I can't reach convergence. It always seems that p_rgh is the problem. I discussed this topic with other colleagues (who has no experience with OpenFoam but with other software) and I tried so many meshes of different qualities, many different boundary conditions and solver settings that I came to the conclusion that maybe OpenFoam is not capable of running unstructered meshes at all. Is anybody out there who got OpenFoam (maybe buoyantBoussinesqSimpleFoam) running using a tetra/prism mesh from ICEM? Do you have any hints on ICEM tetra and OpenFoam? I would rather try a structured mesh but I haven't got the time to get into block meshing. Thanks for your reply! T.
