Hi guys!
I'd like to perform an external aerodynamic analysis on a particular body. This body is embedded within a *.STL file, so, using SpaceClaim I imported it as a solid body. The problem is related to the fact that during the import phase, SC is not able to merge the STL facets, therefore when I extrude a domain, cutting the body from it using the "Combine" function, all the STL facets remain on the fluid volume surfaces. My question is: how can I name the body surfaces for the boundary conditions definition, even if I haven't an unique surface for the body walls?

Thanks!
