Transfer between Open Foam and Star CCM

bhat_nikhil · June 6, 2020, 07:33

Hi
I am trying to find some information as how to link up OpenFoam and Star CCM, however I am not able to find adequate information. Below is the details of the project.
1- Objective: to anticipate CFD results using machine learning, without doing actual simulation
2- Methodology: Collect Big data by using openfoam to run many iterations of different building geometries
3- Software used: OpenFoam, version 5, 1906
4- Solve time: 8 ~ 16 depending on model
The main aim is to migrate the project from openFoam to STAR-CCM
how can we convert the Mesh & Results data to a file format readable by STAR-CCM?
Any suitable read up material on this

Hello,

I really do not think converting OpenFOAM data to Star-CCM+ readable data is possible.

I think OpenFoam is in C++ and StarCCM+ is in java. I think it is impossible too

For converting the mesh use "foamMeshToFluent". This creates a *.msh file which can be imported into ccm. Converting the data should be also possible - somehow. Maybe "foamToEnsight" or "foamDataToFluent" will help.
