Hello, I am trying to use Ennova software to generate meshes for PyFR. However, Ennova does not export gmsh mesh. So, I export the mesh to .vtk format, then I use gmsh to convert .vtk mesh to .msh mesh. Despite all these conversions, PyFR is not being able to read this .msh mesh. I am sending you the error and the .msh file. Please, could you help me? Thank you in advance. [PyFR.zip](https://pyfr.discourse.group/uploads/short-url/inaH898fPonJAhZfKBhJApJjgeF.zip) (1.38 MB) ---

Hi Douglas, In the `$PhysicalNames` section of your test mesh, the “fluid” region has “ **physical entity number** ” = 3: ```auto $PhysicalNames 4 2 0 "outlet/face" 2 1 "walls/face" 2 2 "inlet/face" 3 **3**" **fluid**" $EndPhysicalNames ``` But in the $Elements section of the mesh (from line 88655), both the quad and hex elements are assigned a “ **physical entity number** ” = 0. I think this means that in \_split\_fluid(), the fluid (hex) elements are getting grouped with the boundary (quad) faces. End result is that there are no fluid elements defined after the call to \_split\_fluid(). Looks like the necessary element info is getting lost in translation? Nigel
