Hey guys,

right know I want to check my mesh wish I made with Gridgen and afterwards transformed it into a FLUENT file. Afterwarts I made the mesh ready for Openfoam with the command:

fluentMeshToFoam <meshFile>


I tried to tip in

checkMesh -meshQuality

The answer is:

lklug@ulysses:~/OpenFOAM/Wabe/laminarI/constant/polyMesh$ checkMesh -meshQuality

--> FOAM FATAL IO ERROR:
cannot find file

FOAM exiting

Which file does he not find? The FLUENT file is 100% available at that place. the Openfoam mesh also.

Could you please help me?

thanks!

generally, how do I check I mesh which is made by gridgen and transformed to FLUENT. is it possible to use the "Chech mesh" function?
