Hello all.
I've just made my first 2d mesh with GMSH i think it's corretly written.
Now i try to load it to OpenFoam but it returns me this error:
"no cells read from file .msh
Does your file specify any 3D elements (hex=5, prism=6, pyramid=7, tet=4)
"
my mesh is 2D.

Does anyone know the problem?
Thanks

this is my .geo:

Hi Kayla,

OpenFOAM can only handle 3D grids. You have to extrude your 2D mesh in gmsh before you can work with it.

Best regards,
