How to export Fluent meshes (Fluent meshing) and convert them to an OpenFOAM readable format?

  Hello,
  I am interested in using poly-hexcore meshes generated in Fluent meshing to perform OpenFOAM CFD simulations but, unfortunately, I could not find any way to export Fluent meshes in .msh ASCII format (input required by the fluent3DMeshToFoam mesh conversion utility).
  So far, I managed to successfully export and convert meshes generated in ANSYS meshing and I would like to do the same for meshes generated in Fluent meshing. Does anyone know if/how Fluent meshes can be exported to .msh ASCII files?
  Thank you.
  Best regards,
  Samir

  Hello Samir,
  To write the mesh in ASCII format, in Fluent meshing, File --> write --> mesh and uncheck write binary files
