I am trying to convert a gmsh file to foam using the gmshToFoam utility. When I run the command I receive the following error:

--> FOAM FATAL IO ERROR: 
wrong token type - expected word, found on line 0 the variable $MeshFormat

file: IStringStream.sourceFile at line 0.

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

FOAM exiting

The gmsh file be found here: https://gofile.io/?c=I77hRb

Also, the start of the gmsh file is as follows:

$MeshFormat
2.2 0 8
$EndMeshFormat
$PhysicalNames
21

Some help on this would be fantastic. Thanks!

I have imported your file via gmshToFoam with OpenFOAM 4.1 in Linux and no problem with the .msh file.


Here is the result:

Thanks for the quick reply mzzmrt.

Well that is certainly strange... I might have to change my OpenFOAM version to fix this. I am using OpenFOAM-dev (current version). If it is not too much of a problem, is there any chance you could upload the files/directory of the result of the gmshToFoam?
[edit]: I have fixed it by installing OpenFOAM5 additionally to OpenFOAM-dev. Thanks again!

Thank you heaps!
