1. There is an option to export STAR CCM+ meshes from ICEM CFD.

2. Alternatively STAR CCM+ can also read Fluent *.cas and *.msh formats. So if you export a Fluent mesh from ICEM CFD, STAR CCM+ can read these files too.

3. The third way to do this (a round about way) is to export a STAR CD mesh. Read the mesh in STAR CD 4.0x version and export a gemetry file from STAR CD.

I have tried all these approaches and all work equally well.
