Thank you Bernhard,
I create files and run it again, all things was alright except the blockMeshDict file. It remains without change. If I want to fill it, I don't know what is the number of vertexes and which vertexes are connected to each other!!!!! I have more than 200000 nodes. What should I do? please. |

Yep. blockMesh is only one way to get a mesh. A converter like fluentMeshToFoam is another. You only need one of those at a time
