hi everyone

i am new to OpenFOAM 1.4.1...I did NACA 0012 Airfoil case in fluent,now i want to compare my results with OpenFOAM...can u tell me da procedure how to import fluent.msh file into OpenFOAM 1.4.1...AND ALSO THE PROCEDURE OF SOLVING AND POST-PROCESSING IN OPENFOAM 1.4.1...

Hi Naveen,

please stop posting the same messages under almost all of the actual existing threads, your are spaming the email postboxes of a lot OF users!

If you are new to OF start with tutorials!

If you have problems with conversion Fluent to OF use the "Search" function!

hi frds
i have some problem so plz help me
when i create 2D geometry & complete the mesh in Gambit then i go for fluentMeshToFoam .msh file then it should read & generate the mesh but it took automatically 3D so i cant found my proper streamfunction so plz help me how can i solve that problem

Openfoam extrudes the 2d mesh to 3d and creates a fontAndBack patch, which should be set to empty like:

    frontAndBack
    {
        type            empty;
    }

Look in tutorials/incompressible/simpleFoam/pitzDaily/0 folder to see how 2d geometries have empty boundary conditions. With a patch type of empty, the problem will be treated as 2d. Hope this helps.

hi
i m new user of openfoam201 i phase one difficulty when i solved cavity tutorials then i cant found such like fluent after achieving conversion limit, the program didn't stop. but when it reach end time it stop.

but i want to stop my program when it go beyond the conversion limit so what can i do for that?

plz help me

icoFoam is a time dependent solver so it will continue until endTime. If you want a steady state solver, look at simpleFoam. That solver can do both laminar and turbulent steady state flow.
