Trouble using foamFormatConvert
 

Hello everyone,

I've tried to use foamFormatConvert to convert the polymesh files from binary format to ascii format. But, when I run it, it convert all files (points, boundaries, ...) except the "faces" file. Does anyone have the same problem?

Thanks,

Agnes

Not sure if you're still working with this, but it appears the problem is in writeMeshObject.H. There's an if statement that filters out the faces file for some reason. I'm not experienced enough to say why (perhaps someone can help with that), but the faces IOobject does not get past:


In order to (hopefully) not break anything, I just went around it with this:

I tested this on a simple case with a pre-existing solution and it seemed to work without breaking anything. So if anyone can explain what that if statement is doing and why faces aren't included, that'd be super.
