Hi there,
I have a fluent mesh (.msh) file that i wanted to convert in OF-1.4.1 and when using fluent3DMeshToFoam got the following error: Exec : fluent3DMeshToFoam /home/vuns/OpenFOAM/vuns-1.4.1/run/BluntBody/ BB01 fluent.msh Date : Feb 26 2008 Time : 12:39:10 Host : flightlab4 PID : 17426 Root : /home/vuns/OpenFOAM/vuns-1.4.1/run/BluntBody/ Case : BB01 Nprocs : 1 Create time Dimension of grid: 3 --> FOAM FATAL ERROR : Do not understand characters: From function fluentMeshToFoam::lexer in file fluentMeshToFoam.L at line 703. FOAM exiting However when i used fluentMeshToFoam the converter worked fine. Was just wondering if anyone has seen this before or if i've done something wrong? Thanks Simon. |

Is this a mesh only file? We found that the '#' character (used in boolean constants) can give problems. Have a look through the file and remove the offending sections or resave as mesh only.

Hi Mattijs,
Thanks for the advice because on your recommendation i went into the file and realized it was in a dos format. So just converted the file using "dos2unix" command and it worked. However i've struck another problem but this time with the mesh. Here's the error, Exec : fluent3DMeshToFoam /home/vuns/OpenFOAM/vuns-1.4.1/run/BluntBody/test/ PotentialBB01 fluent.msh Date : Feb 27 2008 Time : 16:33:50 Host : flightlab4 PID : 9037 Root : /home/vuns/OpenFOAM/vuns-1.4.1/run/BluntBody/test/ Case : PotentialBB01 Nprocs : 1 Create time Dimension of grid: 3 Number of points: 55387 PointGroup: 11 start: 0 end: 55386.

Don't think that is a problem. Might be a region with zero faces in it. Run
checkMesh -allTopology -allGeometry to see whether there is a problem. |

Now my mesh in the ascii format works with OpenFOAM. Also all the internal walls are recognised as walls by OpenFOAM and i do not need to use <splitmesh>. Thanks and Regards, Mahendra. |

hello,
I have some trouble with importing mesh file written in fluent format *.msh. First, I took the mesh and used dos2unix utility on it (since it was created under Win). After that I used fluent3DMeshToFoam. The only unxepected message during this work was: --> FOAM Warning : From function boundBox::boundBox(const pointField& points) in file meshes/boundBox/boundBox.C at line 52 Cannot find bounding box for zero sized pointField, returning zero Anyway, the mesh was written. I tried to take a look at it in paraView. I could find the declared patches in "Region Status" field but every time I chose any of them and tried to update, the paraView dumped with "Segmentation Fault" message. I run the "checkMesh -allTopology -allGeometry" and got those results: Mesh stats points: 132745 #0 Foam::error::printStack(Foam:stream&) in "/home/pawel/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.5/lib/linuxGccDPOpt/libOpenFOAM.so" #1 Foam::sigSegv::sigSegvHandler(int) in "/home/pawel/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.5/lib/linuxGccDPOpt/libOpenFOAM.so" #2 Uninterpreted: [0xb7f49420] #3 Foam::primitiveMesh::calcCells(Foam::List<foam::ce ll>&, Foam::UList<int> const&, Foam::UList<int> const&, int) in "/home/pawel/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.5/lib/linuxGccDPOpt/libOpenFOAM.so" #4 Foam::primitiveMesh::calcCells() const in "/home/pawel/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.5/lib/linuxGccDPOpt/libOpenFOAM.so" #5 Foam::primitiveMesh::cells() const in "/home/pawel/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.5/lib/linuxGccDPOpt/libOpenFOAM.so" #6 Foam::printMeshStats(Foam::polyMesh const&, bool) in "/home/pawel/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.5/applications/bin/linuxGccDPOpt/checkMesh" #7 main in "/home/pawel/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.5/applications/bin/linuxGccDPOpt/checkMesh" #8 __libc_start_main in "/lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6" #9 Foam::regIOobject::readIfModified() in "/home/pawel/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.5/applications/bin/linuxGccDPOpt/checkMesh" Segmentation fault can you help me understand what is wrong?

I have added a page to wiki. Maybe it will help you to solve your case.
However it is for OF-1.5 and with a different converter. Note: its a procedure for .msh file, so only mesh can be imported and you will have to do the tweaking yourself. -Rishi PS: I would request/recommend you to first read the forums and wiki before jumping into any thread and asking fundamental questions, that have been answered a few times. |

Hi all!
I converted 3D FLUENT mesh to OpenFOAM format. It has 6 interface patches. So they are saved as type wall. But actually they are just interfaces between to regions of simulation area. Would you please point me, how to exclude those patches from mesh, so one should not set boundary conditions for them? Thank you in advance!

Hmm..!!
Found, that previously in OF v1.3 fluentMeshToFoam http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/Im...ith_interfaces saved FLUENT mesh keeping interface patches. And it was possible to treat that patches by yourself with stitchMesh. Is it available in OF v1.5, because it just combines all interfaces into default wall...

Hi,
I've got a valid 1.5-mesh and need to transform it into 1.4.1... Therefore I use foamMeshToFluent and after that fluent3DMeshToFoam. In 1.5 both works. In 1.4.1-dev it reports (after lexing): FOAM FATAL ERROR: attempt to access element from zero sized list... Thats not fine... Any ideas??? Marco |
