Hi, I am trying to mesh a cone in the centerline of a pipe in Pointwise to run in OpenFOAM. As such, I am trying to create a wedge to take advantage of the symmetry. It seems that the poles on the axis of rotation are giving me troubles when I try to export the mesh. I was able to create a wedge with the poles without the cone and was able to export and run just fine. I can create this new mesh I need just fine, but cannot export. How can I go about exporting this type of mesh?

I get the following error when I try to export:

Attach are some pictures for clarification.

Agree, you may want to attach the file and let us know what version of Pointwise you're using.
