How can i convert the .msh file which used by openFOAM and which had made by gmsh mesh generator to FLUENT mesh input file. I have made some meshes in gmsh and i cannot input them to fluent.

foamMeshToFluent which converts the OpenFOAM
mesh into Fluent format and writes it out as a .msh file.
The resulting mesh is written out in a fluentInterface
subdirectory of the case directory,
i.e.<caseName>/fluentInterface/<caseName>.msh

Hi Panou,

foamMeshToFluent is a command in OpenFOAM that will convert the meshing in OpenFOAM format to be in a meshing in Fluent format and it is a part from OpenFOAM.

You have to have OpenFOAM on your Linux system to run the command. You will need extra work on windows to install OpenFOAM and use the foamMeshToFluent command.

Thanks,

Amr,
