Hello everyone

I am trying to import mesh from fluent to OpenFoam with 'fluentMeshToFoam'.

Mesh is OK in fluent but in OpenFoam it getting 'Fail' message.

The message is as follow:

Create time

Create polyMesh for time = 0

Time = 0

Can any one explain what it means and my mesh is OK or what ? Can I proceed further with this mesh or what ?

Thank you in advance !!

Your mesh is fine. OpenFOAM is just complaining about 22 high aspect ratio cells. I believe OpenFOAM thinks any cell with an aspect ratio over 100 is too high, but this isn't an issue, it's more of a warning.

Thank you for your quick reply

So, you mean I can continue with this mesh file ?

Hi Gitesh,

I agree with Travis. Your mesh fine. You can continue with it.
