Hi all,

I followed the instructions in this thread to overcome the compilation problems
http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/ope...of2-1-1-a.html

I have already generated the OF mesh using fluent3DMeshToFoam. However, when I run fluentDataToFoam I get the error:

Code:
--> FOAM FATAL IO ERROR: 
cannot find file

file: /home/.../constant/polyMesh/zoneToPatchName at line 0.

    From function regIOobject::readStream()
    in file db/regIOobject/regIOobjectRead.C at line 73.

FOAM exiting
There is no file called zoneToPatchName in my polyMesh folder. Is this due to a change in fluent3DMeshToFoam since v1.6 or is it a problem with fluentDataToFoam?

Any help gratefully received!

Hi DDB,

Can you create a simple test case and share it so that I (or anyone else) can try to replicate the same error!?

Best regards,
Bruno

I'd love to, but I don't have access to fluent anymore :-(

I did some cases at uni a few years ago & now I want to work on them in OF, but I am not at uni now and I certainly cannot afford the fluent fees!

Hi DDB,

Very well, then lets reverse engineer this thing.

First I'm going to use the tutorial "incompressible/icoFoam/cavity" as basis for creating the simple Fluent dataset:
  1. Run the tutorial:
    Code:
    blockMesh
    icoFoam
  2. Then extract the components for U:
    Code:
    foamCalc components U
Now to convert the mesh and data to Fluent format:
  1. Create the file "system/foamDataToFluentDict" with the following contents:
    Code:
    /*--------------------------------*- C++ -*----------------------------------*\
    | =========                 |                                                 |
    | \\      /  F ield         | OpenFOAM: The Open Source CFD Toolbox           |
    |  \\    /   O peration     | Version:  2.1.x                                 |
    |   \\  /    A nd           | Web:      www.OpenFOAM.org                      |
    |    \\/     M anipulation  |                                                 |
    \*---------------------------------------------------------------------------*/
    FoamFile
    {
        version     2.0;
        format      ascii;
        class       dictionary;
        location    "system";
        object      foamDataToFluentDict;
    }
    // * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * //
    
    p 1;
    
    Ux 111;
    Uy 112;
    Uz 113;
    I know the codes, because I looked at the fluentDataToFoam source code, more specifically inside the file "fluentDataToFoam.L".
  2. Converted the OpenFOAM mesh and data to Fluent format:
    Code:
    foamMeshToFluent
    foamDataToFluent


Now for converting stuff back from Fluent to OpenFOAM:
  1. Convert the mesh by running:
    Code:
    fluentMeshToFoam fluentInterface/cavity.msh
    This is only because this is the simple cavity. fluent3DMeshToFoam should be used for more complicated cases.
  2. Then look into the file "fluentInterface/cavity.msh" and find the codes for each patch. At the end of the file you should find this:
    Code:
    (39 (1 fluid fluid-1)())
    (39 (2 interior interior-1)())
    (39 (10 wall movingWall)())
    (39 (11 wall fixedWalls)())
    (39 (12 pressure-outlet frontAndBack)())
    This is what we'll use as reference for the "zoneToPatchName" file.
  3. Create the file "constant/polyMesh/zoneToPatchName" with the following contents:
    Code:
    /*--------------------------------*- C++ -*----------------------------------*\
    | =========                 |                                                 |
    | \\      /  F ield         | OpenFOAM: The Open Source CFD Toolbox           |
    |  \\    /   O peration     | Version:  2.1.x                                 |
    |   \\  /    A nd           | Web:      www.OpenFOAM.org                      |
    |    \\/     M anipulation  |                                                 |
    \*---------------------------------------------------------------------------*/
    FoamFile
    {
        version     2.0;
        format      ascii;
        class       wordList;
        location    "constant/polyMesh";
        object      zoneToPatchName;
    }
    // * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * //
    
    /*
    (39 (1 fluid fluid-1)())
    (39 (2 interior interior-1)())
    (39 (10 wall movingWall)())
    (39 (11 wall fixedWalls)())
    (39 (12 pressure-outlet frontAndBack)())
    */
    
    13
    (
      dummy    //foam 0 - no fluent correspondence
      unknown  //foam 1 - fluent 1
      interior //foam 2 - fluent 2
      dummy    //foam 3 - fluent 3
      dummy    //foam 4 - fluent 4
      dummy    //foam 5 - fluent 5
      dummy    //foam 6 - fluent 6
      dummy    //foam 7 - fluent 7
      dummy    //foam 8 - fluent 8
      dummy    //foam 9 - fluent 9
      movingWall    //foam 10 - fluent 10
      fixedWalls    //foam 11 - fluent 11
      frontAndBack  //foam 12 - fluent 12
    );
    Notice the details:
    • The commented block that has the files from the "cavity.msh" file are only there for reference for creating the array of names.
    • "unknown" is the default name given for the internal field, as defined in fluentDataToFoam's source code.
    • Keep in mind that the full array of names has to be given, with dummy names for the patches that don't have a name assigned on OpenFOAM's side of things.
    • Said array starts at 0 (zero), which is why there is the extract line at the top of the array.
  4. Then you can run the converter for the desired time instance:
    1. Edit the file "system/controlDict" and adjust the "startTime" entry accordingly. For example, I want to convert the time instance "0.1":
      Code:
      startTime       0.1;
    2. The convert:
      Code:
      fluentDataToFoam fluentInterface/cavity0.1.dat


A few notes of caution:
  • This conversion method does not take into account all of the possible boundary conditions! For example, the original boundary condition for "U" had the following "boundaryField":
    Code:
    boundaryField
    {
        movingWall
        {
            type            fixedValue;
            value           uniform (1 0 0);
        }
        fixedWalls
        {
            type            fixedValue;
            value           uniform (0 0 0);
        }
        frontAndBack
        {
            type            empty;
        }
    }
    The converted form resulted in:
    Code:
    boundaryField
    {
        movingWall
        {
            type            calculated;
            value           uniform (1 0 0);
        }
        fixedWalls
        {
            type            calculated;
            value           uniform (0 0 0);
        }
        frontAndBack
        {
            type            empty;
        }
    }
    This means that you have to edit the field files after conversion and correct appropriately.
  • Convertible fields can be found the source code file "fluentDataToFoam.L", in the "main" function. If you feel lost in the file, search for "momentum".
Best regards,
Bruno

Bruno, you are an OF guru! Thank you so much!

I had no issues at all with the cavity problem, following the steps as you outlined, however I ran into some issues with my old fluent files.

The msh file is easier to find info for the zoneToPatchName than the cas file, but searching for "(39 (" found the stuff ok.

(For my reference when I come back to this, change the number in the zoneToPatchName to correspond to the number of patches! 13 is not unique!)

I have changed the startTime in system/controlDict, but the data only writes to the 0 folder (whereas following your example there was no issue in writing to whatever folder I chose).

I haven't had a chance to look at the boundary conditions yet, but your help so far has been amazing, thank you :-)

Hello Bruno,

Your procedures listed are veru useful. I did the fluentDataToFoam but the following error:

Create time

Machine config: 600012484888
Grid size: nCells = 5984008 nFaces = 12248025 nPoints = 1156110
00Grid size: nCells = 1 nFaces = 25 nPoints = 1


--> FOAM FATAL IO ERROR:
wrong token type - expected int, found on line 1 the punctuation token '('

file: IStringStream.sourceFile at line 1.

From function operator>>(Istream&, int&)
in file primitives/ints/int/intIO.C at line 68.


FOAM exiting

Does it mean the format of the dat files are not correct?

    \*---------------------------------------------------------------------------*/
    FoamFile
    {
        version     2.0;
        format      ascii;
        class       dictionary;
        location    "system";
        object      foamDataToFluentDict;
    }

    p 1;
    
    Ux 111;
    Uy 112;
    Uz 113;
    I know the codes, because I looked at the fluentDataToFoam source code, more specifically inside the file "fluentDataToFoam.L".
  2. Converted the OpenFOAM mesh and data to Fluent format:
    Code:
    foamMeshToFluent
    foamDataToFluent


Now for converting stuff back from Fluent to OpenFOAM:
  1. Convert the mesh by running:
    Code:
    fluentMeshToFoam fluentInterface/cavity.msh
    This is only because this is the simple cavity. fluent3DMeshToFoam should be used for more complicated cases.
  2. Then look into the file "fluentInterface/cavity.msh" and find the codes for each patch. At the end of the file you should find this:
    Code:
    (39 (1 fluid fluid-1)())
    (39 (2 interior interior-1)())
    (39 (10 wall movingWall)())
    (39 (11 wall fixedWalls)())
    (39 (12 pressure-outlet frontAndBack)())
    This is what we'll use as reference for the "zoneToPatchName" file.
  3. Create the file "constant/polyMesh/zoneToPatchName" with the following contents:
    Code:
    /*--------------------------------*- C++ -*----------------------------------*\
    | =========                 |                                                 |

    \*---------------------------------------------------------------------------*/
    FoamFile
    {
        version     2.0;
        format      ascii;
        class       wordList;
        location    "constant/polyMesh";
        object      zoneToPatchName;
    }
    // * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * //
    
    /*

    (39 (12 pressure-outlet frontAndBack)())
    */
    
    13
    (
      dummy    //foam 0 - no fluent correspondence
      unknown  //foam 1 - fluent 1
      interior //foam 2 - fluent 2
      dummy    //foam 3 - fluent 3
      dummy    //foam 4 - fluent 4
      dummy    //foam 5 - fluent 5
      dummy    //foam 6 - fluent 6
      dummy    //foam 7 - fluent 7
      dummy    //foam 8 - fluent 8
      dummy    //foam 9 - fluent 9
      movingWall    //foam 10 - fluent 10
      fixedWalls    //foam 11 - fluent 11
      frontAndBack  //foam 12 - fluent 12
    );
    Notice the details:
    • The commented block that has the files from the "cavity.msh" file are only there for reference for creating the array of names.
    • "unknown" is the default name given for the internal field, as defined in fluentDataToFoam's source code.
    • Keep in mind that the full array of names has to be given, with dummy names for the patches that don't have a name assigned on OpenFOAM's side of things.
    • Said array starts at 0 (zero), which is why there is the extract line at the top of the array.
  4. Then you can run the converter for the desired time instance:
    1. Edit the file "system/controlDict" and adjust the "startTime" entry accordingly. For example, I want to convert the time instance "0.1":
      Code:
      startTime       0.1;
    2. The convert:
      Code:
      fluentDataToFoam fluentInterface/cavity0.1.dat


A few notes of caution:
  • This conversion method does not take into account all of the possible boundary conditions! For example, the original boundary condition for "U" had the following "boundaryField":
    Code:
    boundaryField
    {
        movingWall
        {
            type            fixedValue;
            value           uniform (1 0 0);
        }
        fixedWalls
        {
            type            fixedValue;
            value           uniform (0 0 0);
        }
        frontAndBack
        {
            type            empty;
        }
    }
    The converted form resulted in:
    Code:
    boundaryField
    {
        movingWall
        {
            type            calculated;
            value           uniform (1 0 0);
        }
        fixedWalls
        {
            type            calculated;
            value           uniform (0 0 0);
        }
        frontAndBack
        {
            type            empty;
        }
    }
    This means that you have to edit the field files after conversion and correct appropriately.
  • Convertible fields can be found the source code file "fluentDataToFoam.L", in the "main" function. If you feel lost in the file, search for "momentum".

Hi hz283,

Follow my example with the tutorial case and then compare the file formats.
I say this because I can't figure out what's wrong just from your error message So you'll have to compare the files yourself!

Best regards,
Bruno

Hi Bruno,
From all this i just have one question for you I'm not that familiar with openFOAM so that being said
in the foamDatatoFluentDict

how do you know what value corresponds to what like u have entered
p 1;

Ux 111;
Uy 112;
Uz 113;

i want to know the values for objects such as k, alpha, p_mean, u_mean and all such objects and their corresponding number where is the dictionary with the list of values and i dunno where is "fluentDataToFoam.L" been searching all inside open foam

Best Regards,
Hasan K.J.

Hi Hasan,

Good question! I was going to say that I didn't know, but then I did a quick search and found this: https://github.com/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM...nitNumbers.txt

Hi Bruno,

Thanks for the reply, clearly i have to improve my searching skills coz i have been searching for quite some time now u saved me a lot of time.
So in the link u sent me it comes like
XF_RF_DATA_NULL=0,
XF_RF_DATA_NULL_M1=0,
XF_RF_DATA_NULL_M2=0,
XF_RF_DATA_NULL_MEAN=0,
XF_RF_DATA_NULL_RMS=0,
XF_RF_DATA_PRESSURE=1,

so the nomenclature we put doesnot matter only the number maters or we need to put the nomenclature that will be there on the "0" file ?

Thanks a lot for your time

Regards,
Hasan K.J

Hi Bruno,

That helped me a lot i have been playing with it for the past few days and i am not still able to figure which of the those numbers go for
pMean, PMean2Prime, UMean and UMean2Prime.

atleast for pMean and PMean2Prime i can guess XF_RF_DATA_PRESSURE_MEAN=400,
XF_RF_DATA_PRESSURE_RMS=401,

but for UMean and UMean2Prime (openFOAM has only one file) could it be
XF_RF_DATA_X_VELOCITY_MEAN=402,
XF_RF_DATA_X_VELOCITY_RMS=403,
XF_RF_DATA_Y_VELOCITY_MEAN=404,
XF_RF_DATA_Y_VELOCITY_RMS=405,
XF_RF_DATA_Z_VELOCITY_MEAN=406,
XF_RF_DATA_Z_VELOCITY_RMS=407,

i tired but no luck,
any wise suggestions

Kind Regards,
Hasan K.J

Hi Hasan,

I don't have access to Fluent, therefore I have absolutely no idea
Given that Fluent uses such a coded way of distinguishing fields, my guess is that there are no such fields in Fluent.

My suggestion if that you run a simple example case in Fluent and try to generate those fields. Then save the case in ASCII format and then try to figure out where those fields are defined in the file and which code is used by Fluent.

Good luck! Best regards,
Bruno

Dear Bruno,

First Thanks for your helps.
I did follow your example step by step and it works fine. But when i try to do my own case i get this

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Machine config: 600012444888
Grid size: nCells = 1594250 nFaces = 4842786 nPoints = 1654892
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\00Grid size: nCells = 1 nFaces = 2 nPoints = 1
E�s���俟h

--> FOAM FATAL IO ERROR:
Attempt to get back from bad stream

file: IStringStream.sourceFile at line 0.

From function void Istream::getBack(token&)
in file db/IOstreams/IOstreams/Istream.C at line 56.

FOAM exiting
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What do you think the problem is. Just so you know i am using Ansys Fluent 14.5. Does "fluentDataToFoam" support newer version of fluent files?

Thanks,
Cheers.

I've never used Fluent, so I have no idea.
But I believe that the problem is related to the export option you're using, namely that you cannot use the binary export mode, you must use the ASCII (text) mode.

Bruno

Dear everybody,

I type fluentDataToFoam name.dat and I also have the following error:

--> FOAM FATAL IO ERROR:
wrong token type - expected int, found on line 1 the punctuation token '('

file: IStringStream.sourceFile at line 1.

From function operator>>(Istream&, int&)
in file primitives/ints/int/intIO.C at line 68



Has anyone solved it?

Greetings Isabel,

After re-reading most of the posts above, I have to ask you this: is your Fluent data file in ASCII or in binary format?
Because fluentDataToFoam can only handle ASCII format.

Best regards,
Bruno

Dear Bruno,

Thank you very much. I have disabled the option "write binary files" when I write the Fluent data and now I can execute fluentMeshToFoam and fluentDataToFoam.
Nevertheless, when I open the results in ParaView these are different from the original Fluent ones. I am working with a 3D simulation. Does anybody know what happens?
