Hello OpenFOAm users,

I'm trying to use the StarToFoam converter but I get the following error and all the things I have tried give me the same error. I have put this qusetion also in the "Using starToFoam" Forum but nobody has replyed me.. I hope somebody can help me here!!

The Error:

There can be piles of things going wrong. The first ones that comes to mind are defined but unused points and badly placed boundaries.

The star4ToFoam converter at least does a better job of handling unused points. First verify that the checks in proSTAR are all okay, then save it in the version 4.x format and see if that solves your problems.

You might also consider the ccm->foam converter. When you write the ccm file from proSTAR, you might discover errors in your model along the way.
