Hello,
this is my first post here.
Currently I am working at a company which provides CFD services mainly for the automotive industry. Right now I am still an intern but shortly will start writing my diploma thesis here. Well my task is to find out what can be done with OpenFoam.

Often, when I try to create a mesh with snappyHexMesh I get problems with the boundary layer. And this leads to my first question:

Check out the attached picture of a Porsche I have meshed.
Why is the boundary layer below the door?

In case you think my blockMeshDict is fault, here is the text:

Code:
FoamFile
{
    version     2.0;
    format      ascii;
    class       dictionary;
    object      blockMeshDict;
}
