OpenFOAM accepts meshes generated by any of the major mesh
generators and CAD systems. Listed below are converter utlities for
the major commercial mesh generators. Note that it is also possible
to import the meshes from most general purpose mesh generators
since they will export in a format read by one of the converters.
