GmahToFoam
 

Hi all,

can anyone tell me detail procedure for converting .msh file to openFoam file. i have no idea how to convert msh file in to openFoam file. i have created .geo and .msh file but have no idea about how to convert and how to use that file.

Thanks
Jaydip

It's easy:

1.) Move to your case directory. That's where constant, system, 0 subdirectories are located.

2.) Run command gmshToFoam <path_to_your_*.msh_file>. Or you can just copy msh file to your case directory and run gmshToFoam filename.msh.

3.) At the end you need to edit the constant/polymesh/boundary file, where you have to set you patch types (e.g. wall, empty, ...) and change defaultFaces face type to empty.

Later I can post detailed description for an example case.

hi Thank you very much....now i am able to convert .msh file to openFoam.

Thanks
