1 Name

ideasUnvToFoam - I-Deas unv format mesh conversion

Valid versions: OF Version 21.png

2 Synopsis

ideasUnvToFoam [OPTIONS] FILEMESH.unv

3 Description

Convert a mesh file FILEMESH.unv from Ideas .unv format to foam format.

-dump

Dump boundary faces as boundaryFaces.obj

-case DIR

Execute the command on the case directory DIR. If not provided, use the current directory

-noFunctionObject

Skip the execution of the functionObjects

-help

4 Step by step example

Valid versions: OF version 14.png

Import a mesh generated by I-DEAS or Salome [1] to OpenFOAM.

1. export the UNV file from I-DEAS or Salome (Module Mesh -> File/Export/UNV file)

2. create a new case with foamX: Case Browser -> right click -> Create Case

3. Convert the mesh file to openFoam: $ ideasUnvToFoam <root> <caseName> (Path) <meshFile>

example: ideasUnvToFoam . testunvconvert /home/foam/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.4.1/applications/utilities/mesh/conversion/ideasUnvToFoam/unv/face_groups_Cubit.unv

A tutorial how to use Salome to generate a mesh for OpenFOAM can be viewed at CAELinux tutorial
