Hello!

My name is Sathya, I am new to using OpenFOAM. I tried converting a .msh file to a foam mesh, and encountered the following error message:

I dont know how to deal with this problem , Any advice would be appreciated, thank you
I converted a icem mesh to a .msh format, before attempting the mesh conversion. (Just for information)

You need to save the mesh in ASCII format, did you try this?
