Dear all,

I'm trying to import on OpenFOAM a 3D Mesh I created using gmsh-2.5.0. I tried to figure out the right procedure reading several posts on this forum, and this is what I have done:

  1. Made *.geo file using gmsh.
  2. Define phyisical surfaces and volume.
  3. Made 3D mesh, obtaining *.msh file.
  4. Made new case folder in OpenFOAM copying an existing tutorials folder.
  5. Ran "gmshToFoam" command, obtaining in the folder constant/polyMesh the following files: sets (folder), boundary, cellZones, faces, faceZones, neighbour, owner, points, pointZones.
  6. Ran the "checkMesh" command, saving the result in a log file (I send you in attachment). I got the following error: "Failed 1 mesh checks", but reading the log file everything seems fine.
What could be the reason of the error?


When I try to run "paraFoam" it crashes!


Thanks in advance
