Hi;
I need to convert Fluent case and data to OpenFOAM too. Any suggestion?

Dear all,
I would like to ask whether there is any progress regarding the fluentDataToFoam utility.

The other way around is available but using data from Fluent would also be nice!

All the best for 2012!

Greetings to all!

Wait, it's been so long and no one has given a proper response on this thread?

OK, for the record: fluentDataToFoam is present in the variant OpenFOAM 1.5-dev and 1.6-ext. It is not present in the official OpenFOAM versions (at least at the time of this writing).

The latest version of said application is present here: http://openfoam-extend.git.sourcefor...ToFoam;hb=HEAD

I haven't tested it yet, but it should be possible to compile this application with the official OpenFOAM versions.

@bephi: you'll need to modify in the file "Make/files" the following line:

Code:

EXE = $(FOAM_APPBIN)/fluentDataToFoam

To:

Code:

EXE = $(FOAM_USER_APPBIN)/fluentDataToFoam

Then it should be suitable for compilation.

Best regards,
Bruno
