Hi!

I'm trying to use gmshToFoam to convert a mesh. I get an error, and I don't know what it means. Does it mean I need to have volumes, not just surfaces? Does it mean the meshing didn't work out? Or something else? I can attach something else if I need too. Thanks!

Here's an image of the mesh:

Here's the entire output of the command:

--> FOAM FATAL IO ERROR:

Does your file specify any 3D elements (hex=5, prism=6, pyramid=7, tet=4)?
Perhaps you have not exported the 3D elements?

Hi,

Basically to have cells in a mesh you have to define physical volume.
