[Other] Mesh Importing Problem

cuteapathy · June 6, 2012, 22:38

Hi everyone,

I am new to CFX. I have a question about mesh conversion. I am trying to convert OpenFOAM format mesh to CFX mesh and import the mesh into CFX. I tried to convert OpenFOAM format mesh to Fluent mesh and then imported Fluent .msh file into CFX. The Mesh part became Imported Mesh and it worked. When I tried to do the Setup part, it said application error in CFX-Pre and cannot even show the window of Setup. I am thinking maybe I should convert the mesh to the format of CFX mesh directly. Could anyone give me some advice how to convert OpenFOAM format mesh to CFX mesh. Thank you.

Could anyone give me some suggestions how to fix this? Thank you.
