Hiya guys, CFD newbie here

I've been trying to get my mesh which was generated using ansys fluent with the Fluen3DMeshToFoam Command. The error I get is:

• ...Number of points: 30036341
  --> FOAM Warning : Found unknown block of type: "11" ...(Multiple lines of this)
• ...patch 7 from Fluent indices: 575094 to: 575815 type: velocity-inlet
  Killed... (Not sure if it says killed because of the error above or something else)

A little bit about what I've tried so far:
- The mesh was exported from fluent in ascii (.msh.gz) and then gzip to get .msh file
- tried different meshing types (Poly-hexcore, tetrahedral and polyhedral)
- I am able to reopen the .msh file which I extracted using gzip back in fluent, with no errors and the original workflow being viewable as if the mesh was just made

Anything you guys spot from this that could help me solve this?

Sorry if this post isn't up to standard. I'm new! If you want anymore info just let me know and I'll try my best.

Thanks

Hey,


My usual steps for importing a Fluent mesh to OpenFoam are very similar:

• Save it as an ASCII .msh (when saving, just delete the .gz at the end and click save, it should still work and you won't need to use gzip)
• Edit the .msh with a text editor and delete the second-to-last block of text, called (0 "TGrid variables:") between "Cortex variables" and "TGrid meshing". Not sure what it does but it generates errors if you keep it. Note that you won't be able to open the mesh in Fluent Meshing after deleting it, so either keep a copy or make sure you won't need to edit it.
• Save the modified .msh
• Import it with fluent3DMeshToFoam
• I regularly do this and it works like a charm, with boundaries, cellzones and facezones untouched.
