[Commercial meshers] gambit to foam

fatemehfarshi62 · February 14, 2016, 02:13

Hi every one.
Would any one please please help me?
I have prepared a 3D Mesh in gambit and exported it to openfoam.
when running the command " fluent3DMeshToFoam" I see the following error"--> FOAM FATAL IO ERROR:
wrong token type - expected word, found on line 0 the label 31

file: IStringStream.sourceFile at line 0.

From function operator>>(Istream&, word&)
in file primitives/strings/word/wordIO.C at line 74.

FOAM exiting

would any one please please tell me what to do?
Thanks a lot

Seems that for whatever reason OpenFOAM is expecting to find a word in one of the files but instead finds the number 31. My advice would be to export the mesh to ascii format and try to find the file which causes trouble by comparing to mesh files generated by blockMesh. I imagine it's probably a missing header somewhere which could be simply pasted in in most cases.

All the best,

A

This happend with me also.
It can be resolved by saving the mesh in ASCII format during the save mesh step!!!! cheers
