Hi.
I've a big issue that I can't understand.
After the fluent3DMeshToFoam command, i would like to know if my mesh was good enough so .... checkMesh.... and that's what i received from the command windows :

If someone could help me to understand this error.
thanks a lot

If I was you, I would focus on this line...

no cells in mesh

It's strange .... because when I put fluent3DtoFoam, it tells me that I've over 13000 cells in my mesh ... so ...maybe i've to change another file before running check mesh ? what do you think ?

[-mAx-]

did you try fluentMeshToFoam instead of fluent3DMeshToFoam?
I use fluent3DMeshToFoam if I have hanging nodes in my mesh (tetra-hexcore mesh). Else I use fluentMeshToFoam
