4 Step by step example
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

5 Bugfix for OF 1.4.1
Note:OF 1.4.1 To use ideasUnvToFoam Converter please read: IdeasUnvToFoam Bug amp Fix and get the corrected ideasUnvToFoam.C http://openfoam.cfd-online.com/forum/messages/126/ideasUnvToFoam-6020.unk
copy ideasUnvToFoam-6020.unk to "util" mesh/conversion/ideasUnvToFoam/ as ideasUnvToFoam.C wclean ; and wmake
6 Hint for OF 2.1.0 / Salome 6.5
Problematic unv export from Salome 6.5 (see bug report #584) The second line of the generated .unv file is not 6 columns wide:
164
Change that and ideasUnvToFoam runs. The problem is with Salome's .unv output.
