Hi All,
I am interested in the transferring between starCCM+ and OpenFOAM meshes. I did successfully for simple geometry but I got issues for complex ones. I read in an old Thread that: "Also, the polymesh that Star creates is not always great quality. The solver can handle it because it just turns off those poor quality cells (just doesn't solve them) if they start to be a problem." I exported a ccm mesh that it was running in starCCM+. When I used ccm26toFoam to import in OpenFOAM I get very bad cell quality and wrong oriented faces (by checkMesh). I tried also to import the mesh from starCCM+ to Fluent and the mesh check (in fluent) shows similar issue (for orthogonal quality and aspect ratio). Hence I was wondering if what I read in the old thread is true and If there is away to transfer a good quality mesh from starCCM+ to OpenFOAM. thanks! regards, Stefano |
