Dear Altruist,
I am a new user of OpenFOAM.com. I have installed OpenFOAM in windows subsystem for Linux. I am working on a CFD simulation of flows around 2D airfoil. I am using k-epsilon turbulent model. First I have done this in Ansys 2021 R2 Version. I am want to do this in OpenFoam. I have heard that OpenFOAM can read ansys mesh. Now I want to know, how can I do this? What kind of file I have to create? Should I create constant, controldict folder? Actually I have watched some video which tells me I have to save the ansys mesh in ASCII format. But what should I do then? Kindly help me with this. Thanks in advance. |

Where you able to solve the problem?
I would like to go from .msh file to .vtk. I am unsure about to use mshToFoam, FluentToFoam or Fluent3DMeshToFoam. I have run the command but it failed, apparently I need some files such as the ControlFict, fvSchemes, fvSolution in the subfolder system and probably I also need something in the constant subfolder. I am also new to OpenFoam and basically I am pretty lost and as usual cannot rely on other help that the altruism of Forum people. Thanks |

Your .msh file from fluent will have to be ASCII format, then if it's imported from windows, do:
dos2unix <insert .msh file name here> FluentMeshToFoam <insert .msh file name here> this should create a paramesh directory so you do not need to use the blockMesh utility. Suggest to copy a tutorial file in $FOAM_TUTORIALS to set up a new case. |
