Hi all
I'm new to CFD. I'm trying to export 2D mesh to openfoam.
As far I create mesh then make groups from geometry (also tryied in reverse order) than i extrude mesh. Folowing to some tutorials i've deleted groups containing volumes and edges.
I've tryied to convert mesh to .unv format using ideasUnvToFoam and I get following error :

FOAM exiting

So i've tryied to import from Gmsh (by firstly reading mesh from .med and .unv format). I got following error:

 --> FOAM FATAL IO ERROR:
wrong token type - expected int32_t, found on line 1 the word '$MeshFormat'

I'm using newest stable version of openfoam, salome and gmsh.
How should i import mesh to openfoam?
Thank you in advance.

I guess, that the face groups is causing you trouble.

In this bug report the error "Cell type 22 not supported" is discussed. As cell type 22 is apparently a 2D cell type, my guess is that the face groups of your mesh are the culprit.

Try exporting and importing the mesh without any (face) groups. A mesh consisting of only 3D cells should work.


You can further try to:

• Export your face groups as STLs meshes
• Construct faceSets using teh STLs as input using topoSet
• Create patches from the faceSets using createPatch
