Hi, I have received the following error message when converting fluent 3d mesh using fluent3DMeshToFoam:

I tried converting the same .msh file using fluemtMeshToFoam and it worked fine. I'm wondering what might have caused it?

[mattijs]

Can you post or send the case?

Mattijs

[cwang5]

Umm...how do I post the file?

[elorriaux]

Hello,

I'm getting the same kind of error with fluent3DMeshToFoam and OF-1.5. I did not try the fluentMeshToFoam yet.

My mesh is generated with gambit-2.2.

Mattjis, i can send you an http link with my .msh, but it's quite big (more than one million cells).

Regards,

Etienne.

[cwang5]

oh, checked the forum documentation, here's the file.

[cwang5]

file's too big, can't upload it, I'm uploading it to rapidshare, here's the link.

http://rapidshare.de/files/40430130/...id.msh.gz.html

let me know when you have received the file. Thanks

[mattijs]

says the file does not exist when I try to download it. Can you try again and send link to me? (m dot janssens at opencfd.co.uk)

[mattijs]

Pushed a changed fluent3DMeshToFoam.L to the 1.5.x git which reads your file. Let me know if it breaks anything else ;-)

[cwang5]

I couldn't seems to access the git repository. The git update process is stuck at "Indexing 9605 objects... 0% (1/9605) done. Any idea how to fix that? Thanks

[henry]

I have just pulled and pushed and it was fine. It looks like you have an unreliable connection, could you try again later?

H

[cwang5]

humm...well, it never worked for me, I've tried updating it for a while, and was always stuck at the git clone step.

[ameya]

Have you examined the mesh in gambit or fluent before exporing it to OpenFOAM? May be you hav some highly skewed elements.

I recoomend you not only peform grid check but also use hexahedral mesh as far as pssible

Hi, I got the same sequence of errors when using fluent3DMeshToFoam when using OF1.5 but it all went smooth with the OF1.4.1. Did anything change in-between, some lib somewhere?
Just for the record, if it helps:

In 1.5 it says:

We have pushed a new version to the 1.5.x git repository, could you try that?

H

[r2d2]

Will do that, as soon as I have some spare time.
Thanks anyway,
Radu

[podallaire]

Good morning,

with the new changes, fluent3DMeshToFoam does not compile for me :

fluent3DMeshToFoam.L: In function 'int main(int, char**)':
fluent3DMeshToFoam.L:932: error: expected `]' before ')' token
fluent3DMeshToFoam.L:932: error: expected `]' before ')' token

fluent3DMeshToFoam.L:936: error: expected `;' before '}' token
fluent3DMeshToFoam.L: At global scope:

[henry]

Which version of flex are you using?

H

[henry]

I have just pushed a small change which should keep old versions of flex happy.

H

[podallaire]

Thanks !

I will give it a try later tonight

-> flex 2.5.33

Regards,

PO

[henry]

We are now using flex 2.5.35 which comes with SuSE 11 and other recent Linux releases or can be downloaded and compiled from sources. There is a bug in the .skel file in version 2.3.33 (fixed in 2.5.35) which means that "]]" in the "C" code throws and error but "] ]" is OK. The fix I uploaded should solve the problem for you.
