Greetings Ahmed,

According to the help given by star4ToFoam:

-ascii write in ASCII instead of binary format

convert pro-STAR (v4) mesh to OpenFOAM

Using: OpenFOAM-2.0.x (see www.OpenFOAM.org)

So basically you need the 3 files, but only need to tell star4ToFoam the name of the file (without the extension nor the dot).

Best regards,
Bruno
