Hi All,

Just thought would share with you all a plugin that I wrote that helps convert geometry from SketchUp to OpenFOAM case.

At the moment the capabilities of the plugin are limited, but it can export a basic case.

You can find the plugin here: https://github.com/venugopalansgr/Sk...er/eofv_skp.rb

Hope this helps at least a few of you in your work!

Cheers!

Hi,

Thanks for trying out the plugin!

From the error stack it seems like in the SketchUp file you have entities other than Groups.

At the moment, the plugin requires that your geometry consists only of Groups. So if you make the Edge part of some geometry and put everything into a Group the plugin should work. I have attached sample SketchUp file on which the plugin would work.

If you are still having trouble, please let me know and I will investigate further.

Cheers!
