Hello Foamers!
Did someone ever used snappyHexMesh with the surfaceSimplify option? I can't find much about it... When should it be used? What will it do? How to use it?
Any info is welcome Thanks!

Just found the option and the post: I guess the idea is to use sHM as a surface wrapper by this option.

What is then the way to specify
- size of the holes which should be covered?
- size of the triangles which will compose the new stl?
- edges to be preserved?
- ...

Cheers,

Just a guess: I think you have to do this in snappyHexMeshDict using the same parameters as usual.
