I am getting the following error on converting my gmsh mesh file to foam:

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

Can anyone tell me why is it so? .Geo and .msh files can be accessed through:

Hello,

You simply need to add a volume in physical group ( Geometry --> Physical Groups --> Add --> Volume).

For the mesh generation, you need to generate a mesh of version 2.2 compatible for OpenFoam conversion, for this use the command: gmsh -3 -format msh2 unitled.geo

For the mesh conversion: gmshToFoam untitled.msh

The created volume appears in OpenFoam as a cellzone.

Hello,

I came across a similar problem but could not solve it.

I created another thread. Can someone help me fix this.

Gmsh import into OpenFOAM
