Can't convert my mesh created in Gmsh to OpenFOAM

Hi everyone!

My name is Crystal and I have an issue in converting the mesh that I created in Gmsh to OpenFoam.

I have tried using th commands "gmshToFoam Part2.msh" and also "fluentMeshToFoam Part2.msh" but they keep saying error.

I'm currently using Gmsh version 2.11.0 (64bit Linux) and OpenFOAM-in-Box-18.02.

I'm open to any suggestions or solutions so please feel free to help me out or ask me any questions for any clarification.

Here are the attached file:

Can you post the error (or the full case, and not just the .msh file)? I've used gmshToFoam recently for OF4x and gmsh2.12 and it worked fine. The key is to check the boundaries in constant/polyMesh/boundaries to make sure that they're correct -- if I recall correctly they were all changed to "patch" type by the converter.
