Hello
I am trying to get my Gmsh mesh into my openfoam case


My mesh is described by the following .geo file


//Points
Point(1) = {0, 0, 0, 1.0};
Point(2) = {-0.0027, 0.0058, 0, 1.0};
Point(3) = {-0.00635,0,0,1.0};
Point(4) = {0.045315389,0,0,1.0};
Point(5) = {0.045315389,0.026930913,0,1.0};
Point(8) = {0.046315389,0.025930913,0,1.0};
Point(9) = {0.045315389,0.025930913,0,1.0};
Point(10) = {0.046315389,0,0,1.0};
Point(11) = {-0.0635,0,0,1.0};
Point(12) = {-0.027,0.058,0,1.0};
Point(13) = {0.018315389,0.079130913,0,1.0};
Point(14) = {0.13,0.025930913,0,1.0};
Point(15)={0.13,0,0,1.0};


//lines
Ellipse(2) = {3, 1, 1, 2};
Ellipse(3) = {5, 9,9, 8};
Line(4) = {2, 5};
Line(5) = {8, 10};
Ellipse(6) = {11,1,1,12};
Line(7) = {12,13};
Ellipse(10) = {13,4,4,14};
Line(11)={14,15};
Line(12)={10,15};
Line(13) = {3, 11};
Line(14) = {12, 2};
Line(15) = {5, 13};
Line(16) = {8, 14};



//Superficies
Line Loop(1) = {13, 6, 14, -2};
Plane Surface(1) = {1};
Line Loop(2) = {7, -15, -4, -14};
Plane Surface(2) = {2};
Line Loop(3) = {15, 10, -16, -3};
Plane Surface(3) = {3};
Line Loop(4) = {12, -11, -16, 5};
Plane Surface(4) = {4};

//mesh
Transfinite Line {13, 14} = 50 Using Progression 1.2;
Transfinite Line {14, 15} = 50 Using Progression 0.8;
Transfinite Line {15, 16} = 50 Using Progression 1.2;
Transfinite Line {12, 16} = 50 Using Progression 1.2;

Transfinite Line {5, 11} = 50 Using Progression 1;
Transfinite Line {10, 3} = 50 Using Progression 1;
Transfinite Line {4, 7} = 50 Using Progression 1;
Transfinite Line {2, 6} = 50 Using Progression 1;

Transfinite Surface {1};
Transfinite Surface {2};
Transfinite Surface {3};
Transfinite Surface {4} Right;


Recombine Surface {1};
Recombine Surface {2};
Recombine Surface {3};
Recombine Surface {4};


Extrude {{1, 0, 0}, {0, 0, 0}, 0.1} {
Surface{1}; Surface{2}; Surface{3}; Surface{4}; Layers{1}; Recombine;
}

Physical Surface("lWedge") = {33, 55, 77, 94};
Physical Surface("rWedge") = {4, 3, 2, 1};
Physical Surface("outlet") = {86, 68};
Physical Surface("inlet") = {42, 25};
Physical Surface("cone") = {93, 76, 50, 32};
Physical Volume("internal") = {2, 1, 3, 4};





A screenshot of this is attached below.

When I save my mesh and run gmshToFoam in openfoam I get the following error



---------------------------------------------------------



--> FOAM FATAL IO ERROR:
No cells read from file "BluntedConeMedEnde.msh"
Does your file specify any 3D elements (hex=5, prism=6, pyramid=7, tet=4)?
Perhaps you have not exported the 3D elements?

file: BluntedConeMedEnde.msh at line 39198.

From function void readCells(Foam::scalar, bool, const pointField&, const Foam::Map<long int>&, Foam::IFstream&, Foam::cellShapeList&, Foam::labelList&, Foam::List<Foam::DynamicList<Foam::face> >&, Foam::labelList&, Foam::List<Foam::DynamicList<long int> >&)
in file gmshToFoam.C at line 742.

FOAM exiting

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
a screenshot of the error is also attached.



It seems as if I have not created a 3D mesh, however my case is clearly 3D which confuses me.


I am very new with Gmsh and openFoam so I have just created this mesh from watching different tutorials.



When saving the mesh in Gmsh I save as version 2 ASCII.

I am using openFoam v.1612+ on Ubuntu 16.04 and meshing in Gmsh 4.8.4



Hope someone will be able to help me
