Hello



I am trying to mesh a file 2c2.mesh in OpenFoam but i'm getting an error as shown below,


No cells read from file "2c2.msh"
Does your file specify any 3D elements (hex=5, prism=6, pyramid=7, tet=4)?
Perhaps you have not exported the 3D elements?




Please help to mesh that file and the related 2c2.geo file is as follows,


//+
Point(1) = {0, 0, 0, 1.0};
//+
Point(2) = {0, 1, 0, 1.0};

Hi,

You have to define physical volume.

I believe that I define already the physical volume but same error. Here is my geo file:
