[Other] Issue Exporting Pointwise Mesh to OF2.3.x

Jack001 · October 6, 2015, 08:00

My problem is as follows. I downloaded a simple example case from Travis Carrigan at https://github.com/traviscarrigan/OpenFOAM-NACA2412

As the case is set up from unzipping everything works perfectly fine. However, If I open the pointwise project that is included in the polyMesh directory and export the mesh using Export -> CAE and use these files in my simulation then OF complains with a floating point exception!

You can try for yourself as I attach the link to the case above. In the polyMesh directory simply copy the files I atach which got when exporting the project from pointwise from the 'Travis' directory to polyMesh to get the case that gives the error. The case as provided by Travis should work as is. You can examine the files in 'Mine' and the ones in 'Travis' and see they are different but they were supposedly generated using the same pointwise export method!

If anyone can help on this issue it would be much appreciated!

Solved the problem with the help of Travis - you need to run renumberMesh -overwrite in the case directory. Hope this helps with people encountering a similar issue.
