Thanks for the great tutorial. Note: I think you said that one can use the original mesh used to create the OF mesh can be used with the exported data, it is not true as the mesh number is changed while converting. So one have to do foamMeshToFluent. The quote from documentation: "A note of caution: users MUST NOT try to use an original Fluent mesh file that has been converted to OpenFOAM format in conjunction with the OpenFOAM solution that has been converted to Fluent format since the alignment of zone numbering cannot be guaranteed."
Hi, while I had the mesh generated in ANSYS workbench to use in OF, upon exporting the data file from OpenFOAM to Fluent using "foamDataToFluent", opening the original mesh that was generated in ANSYS, in fluent gave some errors like "read_thread_data_section: invalid thread id xx". So I went back one step again the OpenFOAM, and applied the command "foamMeshToFluent". This way the mesh is regenerated from the latest data file in the directory then we ensure the data file and mesh file are fully compatible.
Hello, Asmaa. Do you know how to convert species results such as CO2 from openFoam to Fluent? I tried some numbers such as 7, 13...in fluentUnitNumbers , but it failed.
Hello Dear Asma, I have a problem regarding the WSS conversion from OpenFOAM to Fluent. Actually, I can obtain WSS results but when I convert the results to Fluent, then WSS values are seen to be zero, although they are not (I write "wallShearStress 19" in foamToFluentDict file). I don't know how to resolve that issue, could you please help me if you have any idea?
fluent student has 512k element limit, but if I run more elements in foam then transfer results to ansys post-process, can I visualize or get some derivevd results in ansys?

Thanks for your feedback, your comment will be of great help to the community.
Very nice tutorial. Thank you Asmaa.
Thanks for the wonderful video. May I know how we can convert data to fluent for the CHT case where we use different folders for each fluid solid?
