[Salome] DAT file from Salome for use with Foam.

massive_turbulence · April 25, 2014, 00:14

I used Salome to generate a mesh and sent it to a dat file, mainly because the unv format would lose triangles. Basically I then tried using datToFoam
but I got this error?

Code:

--> FOAM FATAL IO ERROR:
wrong token type - expected word, found on line 0 the label 1

file: IStringStream.sourceFile at line 0.

    From function operator>>(Istream&, word&)
    in file primitives/strings/word/wordIO.C at line 74.

FOAM exiting

Hi,

this post is quite old but did you manage to generate the mesh with the funciton datToFoam?

i have made a mesh in salome with the algorythm "body Fitting" which consists of polyhedra apart from hexahedra and if i export the mesh in UNV format the polyhedra are missed. Also if i use the script "salomeToOpenFoam.py" i get an error that says "list assignment index out of range".

Does somebody know if it is possible to export polyhedra from salome to openfoam?

thank you

Xabi
