manuc is on a distinguished road
Hello all,
I would like to export mesh from ansys wb as a fluent case file (.cas).
I want them to be used for conjugateHeatFoam.
As I understand the solver needs two mesh ; One for the solid and another for the fluid.

What I tried- Trial 1
I tried to export the mesh of the whole geometry and used
Code:
fluentMeshToFoam myMesh.cas -writeSets
setsToZones -noFlipMap
splitMeshRegions -cellZones -overwrite
This doesnt work as the mesh components correpsonding to both solid and fluid are present in the polymesh folder in all files.

Trail 2- Export solid and fluid mesh separate
I exported both cas files separate and followed:
1. Put fluid case file in the main folder. carried out
Code:
fluentMeshToFoam myMesh.cas -writeSets
setsToZones -noFlipMap
splitMeshRegions -cellZones -overwrite
2. Put solid .cas file in folder solid inside constant folder.
It popped up with an error saying control dict is missing inside the solid folder. To give a try I created system folder inside it .(constant/solid/system) and carried out

Code:
fluentMeshToFoam myMesh.cas -writeSets
setsToZones -noFlipMap
splitMeshRegions -cellZones -overwrite

This generates separate meshes but results in error saying:
Code:
reate time

--> FOAM Warning :
    From function IOstream::compressionEnum(const word&)
    in file db/IOstreams/IOstreams/IOstream.C at line 74
    bad compression specifier 'off', using 'uncompressed'
Create mesh for time = 0



--> FOAM FATAL ERROR:
Problem with patch-to-zone addressing for patch of_plate_to_air: some patch faces not found in interpolation zone

    From function void regionCouplePolyPatch::calcZoneAddressing() const
    in file meshes/polyMesh/polyPatches/constraint/regionCouple/regionCouplePolyPatch.C at line 120.
.

Could someone suggest the right way to convert fluent mesh compatible for conjugatefoam from foam extend 3.2.

Please find the case folder attached in :
