Hello folks,

This is my first forum post so forgive me if I am a little new to some features of OpenFOAM. It is my hope that I can continue to learn more as I pursue my PhD.

I am using OpenFOAM v1812 and attempting to convert an ASCII V2 mesh to OpenFOAM using gmshToFoam command. When I do this, I obtain the following:

[ofuser@db8afc29162f Waverider]$ gmshToFoam nonweiler_research_W.msh

===========================================

I am trying to understand how to fix this issue so any suggestions would be appreciated. I am on Mac if that helps.

Either a bug, or bad input - would need to have the file (or something similar) to figure out what is going wrong.
Consider tracking it as a gitlab issue (you can add files there too).

Could I send you the geo and mesh file? There may be some errors actually in the geo file mainly with respect to the mesh generation. If you can give me some feedback on it that would be great. Anywhere I can send it to?
