Hi, I am trying to use fluentMeshToFoam to convert a fluent mesh to OpenFOAM format; however, when I run the program, I get the following error:
Code:
<a lot of output like the following:> ... ... Found end of section in unknown:$ Embedded blocks in comment or unknown: �Embedded blocks in comment or unknown:\� Found end of section in unknown:� ��ݻFound end of section in unknown:? ]�Embedded blocks in comment or unknown:�� Found end of section in unknown:= �Embedded blocks in comment or unknown:� ▒�E��UEmbedded blocks in comment or unknown:M� Found end of section in unknown:� �n�I --> FOAM FATAL IO ERROR: wrong token type - expected int32_t, found on line 0 the punctuation token ')' file: IStringStream.sourceFile at line 0.

I also tried using fluent3DMeshToFoam and got a different error, as shown below:

Hi,
Perhaps you want to check with another version of OF? If it works in say OF 5.x, then it is probably a bug in OF 6. Else, maybe something else is the issue. Hope this helps. Cheers, Antimony |

@Antimony: Thanks for your reply. I am using OF on a shared system and they only have versions 6 and 1.7.1 installed. I tried it with 1.7.1 and got exactly the same error about not understanding characters on line 15.
I also tried it with a much simpler mesh (literally just a simple tube) and got exactly the same thing. |

Ah, I figured it out. In the ANSYS options, there is one that selects either binary or ASCII format for the mesh export. I changed it from binary to ASCII, re-exported the mesh and it now works fine.
I guess fluentMeshToFoam likes ASCII data, but not binary. Good to know ![]() |

Hi,
Yes, most of the tools in OF prefer the ASCII format - especially the ones that deal with conversion. ![]() Cheers, Antimony |

Hi Time4Tea
I got exactly the same error, but my mesh format is ASCII and no binary. Do you have a solution to my problem? |
