Hi to all I'm new user of GMSH and OpenFOAM and I've a problem.
I'm generated a simple cube with 3d mesh in GMSH this is:

Someone can help me?

I guess you have to specify a physical volume, otherwise the cells aren't exported. If you have obtained the volume by, eg, extrusion, then you have to guess the volume number (the viewer tool helps you); in your case I bet it's volume #1, so add something like this to your .geo file:

Physical Volume{100} = {1};

Thanks Andrea it works..............:-)

Hi,

I have just menaged to install correctly OpenFoam.
(few dasy ago). And I read so many pasges of programmer's guide, and user's guide
Ans I have 2 questions:

1/ Ok, we can take the case of cavity:ok for the explanations about Condition Boundaries, Mesh, but :
HOW can we say to OpenFoam that we need it to solve for us a particular equation????
For example, if I want to solve the Navier-Stokes equation with the Mesh of the case "cavity" (or with any meshes), where do I have to precise it?
In wich files, or fields??

2/ I want to import a .msh (done by gmsh) into OpenFoam. But what's id the command precisely?

I hope that someone can help me.
thaks in advantage.

1/ icoFoam is in:
OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.3/applications/solvers/incompressible/icoFoam


commands(for future reference):
$sol # takes you to solvers
than you think icoFoam is for incompressible fluids so:
$cd incompressible

cd icoFoam
and you have all files you need with all equations
2/ mshToFoam is your friend (i think ive never used)

Hi Rafal,

thanks to replying me so quickly.
But I think that I'm not sur to underdestand what you told me,

1/ You wanna say that I can NOT precise the equation I want to solve:but, with OpenFoam, I just can choice the solver (because icoFoam is a solver, isn't it?) in function of each problem.
Am I wrong?

2/ Ok, I will try, even if I don't know yet, what I have to fill in the fiel <root>, and <casename>

hi Lam,
1/ i showed you where are equations
you want to solve.
in:
/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.3/applications/solvers/incompressible/icoFoam
you have two files
icoFoam.C - contains N-S eqns + with PISO
(why they are written in this way
you need to read programmers guide (i believe
several times to make everything clear about
fields handling and discretization)
and second fiele
createFields.H - (which is included in icoFoam.C)
contains all reading fields from files.

you may ask why to split this into two files.
thats true it could be in one BIG file
more difficult to read. by splitting this you
separate field initialization and manipulation.

2/ i have never used mshToFoam but i believe
it is like always
<root> /path/to/your/directory/containg/msh/
<case> mesh.msh
but i can be wrong.
search forum for it, read user&programers guides
maybe use in FoamX is easier(?)
hope that helps

rafal

in icoFoam.C you have N-S equations which you
can modify if you dont like them (dont have
important for you forces)

[lam]

Thanks, Rafal!
Things you've explained to me are pretty clear.
It's a good start for me. I will try now

Thanks again.

Hey everybody,

Impatiently, I take this file by the net: exemple.msh done by Gmsh.

And I used gmshToFoam:

-> mkdir totoCase
-> gmshToFoam /home/lam/OpenFOAM/lam-1.3/run/tutorials/icoFoam totoCase ~/Download/exemple.msh

But it doesn't work:

Everyone can help me?
What do I need to convert that ?

Thanks in advance.

(you can see the contain of exemple.msh at the end of this mail, but could you tell me how to join a file in a Message, instead of pasting a too long file like exemple.msh?)

Hi Hong-Lam!

Your problem is that creating a directory with mkdir is not sufficient to create a "virgin case". ANY OpenFOAM-Utility (including the mesh converters) expects at least a controlDict in it. The best solution would be to copy a tutorial case for the solver you want to use later with your mesh and use the mesh converter with that (everything will be kept in place except the constant/polyMesh-Directory). Afterwards you only have to adapt the boundary conditions and you are ready.

The other way is to take the fatal errors of OpenFOAM literally: if it wants a controlDict then give it a controlDict. Proceed until it stops complaining (that way you lean a lot about OpenFOAM-cases)

[lam]

A new day, a new hope (lol)
Sincerly, thanks to you Rafal, and Bernhard.

I will try at once what you adviced me to do.

Thanks a lot

Lam.

Hey,

Thanks to BernHard, my problem with the convert gmshToFoam has evoluted: now, I know that I have the same error like Guiseppe Noviello in April 2006 (lol, look at this page up). (thanks to you Rafal!)
Can somebody give me a .msh file done by gmsh with specifiying a physical volume in the .geo.
In fact, I follow exactly Andrea's advice (page up) given to Guiseppe, one year ago.

Thanks in advance!

Lam

Hi,

You could try this. It worked for me.

[Erik]

have to mesh the geo file first though.

[lam]

Hi Erik,

Thanks to try to help me.
But what is the file you wrote here? Is it a .geo file? Because I do not have gmsh to put it on .msh file.
Sorry to ask you that but have you got a .msh which does what you have written?

Thanks in advance, Erik.

Lam

[Erik]

Ok, sorry I thought you had gmsh. I dont have gmsh either anymory to mesh with.

[lam]

No problem Erik.

But nobody else can provide me a .msh done by a gmsh?
I can't help trying the convert "gmshToFoam", jsut see if it works!

Thanks in advance.

Lam

[mattijs]

There is a CubeVer1.msh in

$FOAM_UTILITIES/mesh/conversion/gmshToFoam/

[lam]

Hi Mattijs,

THanks a lot fOr your help!
I try this, and I can see the mesh thanks to paraFoam. It seems to work.
But I've read the description written in
"gmshToFoam.C":

it is said:

"Note: There is something seriously wrong with the ordering written in the
.msh file. Normal operation is to use the ordering as described
in the manual. Use the -autoInvert to invert based on the geometry.
Not very well tested."

1/ What does it mean?
How can I use this otpion "-autoInvert"? Do I need this?

2/ And how can I use the function "checkMesh" to check a mesh, in general?

Thanks in advance,

Lam
