Remarks Concerning OpenFOAM

The mesh can be written in OpenFOAM polyMesh format with the command ``send''. If you work in the polyMesh-directory of the OpenFOAM case then all mesh-related files will be already in place. So far the physical-type is not written in the boundary file as it is not mandatory. The results of an OpenFOAM calculation can be viewed by specifying the parameter -foam and the case. See also ``Program Parameters''.
Since openFoam-version 1.3 uses a new format it is required to convert the resulting files. After exporting the OpenFOAM mesh, i.e. boundary, cells, faces, points, copy these 4 files to an OpenFOAM case, say, project (that will be under project/constant/polyMeh). Then, from the parent directory of project, do "checkMesh . project". This will convert the mesh to OpenFOAM 1.3 format (it will create 2 new files, owner and neighbour). That is it!
