[ICEM] Extruding a STL mesh -- CFD Online Discussion Forums

December 19, 2013, 17:48	Extruding a STL mesh	#1
a.sarami Member Ali Sarami Join Date: Jun 2010 Posts: 34 Rep Power: 15	Dear Friends, Does anyone know how to extrude one face of a STL file in any of the geometry designing softwares? I have a STL file and would like to extrude one of its faces (which is a circular face) in the direction normal to the face. I tried ICEM, but it needs a driving curve/vector and I dont know how to specify normal vector as the driving vector? Is it possible to find normal vector in ICEM? ICEM has also some other possibilities but it only extrude b-spline surfaces and STL files are faceted surfaces. Is there any way in ICEM or any other software. Best
