I tried to make a cube and export the file from gmsh to unv to import it to Fluent. My code is as following:

//Points
Point(1) = {0, 0, 0, 1};
Point(2) = {1, 0, 0, 1};
Point(3) = {0, 1, 0, 1};
Point(4) = {1, 1, 0, 1};
Point(5) = {0, 0, 1, 1};
Point(6) = {1, 0, 1, 1};
Point(7) = {0, 1, 1, 1};
Point(8) = {1, 1, 1, 1};
//Lines
Line(1) = {1, 2};
Line(2) = {3, 4};
Line(3) = {1, 3};
Line(4) = {2, 4};
Line(5) = {5, 6};
Line(6) = {7, 8};
Line(7) = {5, 7};
Line(8) = {6, 8};
Line(9) = {1, 5};
Line(10) = {3, 7};
Line(11) = {2, 6};
Line(12) = {4, 8};
//Surfaces
Curve Loop(1) = {3, 2, -4, -1};
Plane Surface(1) ={1};
Curve Loop(2) = {7, 6, -8, -5};
Plane Surface(2) ={2};
Curve Loop(3) = {10, -7, -9, 3};
Plane Surface(3) ={3};
Curve Loop(4) = {12, -8, -11, 4};
Plane Surface(4) ={4};
Curve Loop(5) = {9, 5, -11, -1};
Plane Surface(5) ={5};
Curve Loop(6) = {10, 6, -12, -2};
Plane Surface(6) ={6};
//Transfinite Lines
Transfinite Curve {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12} = 21 Using Progression 1;
//Transfinite Surface
Transfinite Surface(1) = {1, 3, 4, 2};
Transfinite Surface(2) = {5, 7, 8, 6};
Transfinite Surface(3) = {3, 7, 5, 1};
Transfinite Surface(4) = {4, 8, 6, 2};
Transfinite Surface(5) = {1, 5, 6, 2};
Transfinite Surface(6) = {3, 7, 8, 4};//+
Recombine Surface {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6};
//Volumes
Surface Loop(1) = {1, 3, 6, 2, 4, 5};
Volume(1) = {1};
//Transfinite Volume
Transfinite Volume{1} = {1, 2, 4, 3, 5, 6, 8, 7};
Recombine Volume {1};
//Boundary Conditions
Physical Surface("Inlet-Air") ={3};
Physical Surface("Wall-adiabatic") ={1};
Physical Surface("Symm-side") ={2, 5, 6};
Physical Surface("Outlet") ={4};
Physical Volume("Fluid") ={1};

There are two issues related with this:
1. GMSH
If I choose to export also the elements it gives me 8 times the following error:

Warning : Unknown element type for UNV export (MSH type 15) - output file might be invalid

2. Fluent
Thus I don't export elements and I tried exporting the unv file with or without nodes. In both cases Fluent give me segmentation error and closes.
Is there any solution for this?
Thanks everyone for their help

I don't think you can read universal format in Fluent, starting with version 6. Better to write in .msh format; gmsh can do that.

Unfortunately academic version of fluent does not accept msh files, thus I need to import .unv file

[vinerm]

There is no difference in academic or commercial version of Fluent. The code is same; it would not be justified to write a separate code for academia. It is only limited by its capability to work with larger meshes. But do note that .msh file that gmsh writes is different from .msh file that Fluent uses. You have to convert it to Fluent format.

I'm having the same problem importing a .msh file (2D) from gmsh into fluent. Are there any ways to convert it?
