Hello all,

I have a *.msh file I would like to convert to OpenFOAM format. My *.msh file contains hanging nodes, however I found one post on this forum which indicated fluent3DMeshToFoam could handle this. My intent is to use zipUpMesh utility after the conversion to remove the hanging nodes. Running the converter gives the following error:

Is it true that fluent3DMeshToFoam can take hanging nodes or is my approach of this utility + zipUpMesh rubbish?

Thanks in advance,
