abstract: "This is the conversion tool that can be used to convert a Foam mesh into Nastran. There are some softwares such as COMSOL Multiphysics that imports mesh in the Nastran format. The meshing softwares designed for the OpenFOAM generally have the tool to convert into Fluent format but not in the Nastran format. With this tool, the conversion of Hexahedral, Tetrahedral, Pyramid and Prism elements into Nastran format is possible. The tool can be easily extended for other types of elements."
