Hello, I am working on a project with a local company doing airflow testing over roof mounted solar panels. The company has given me 3d models of a solar panels and roof racks in solidoworks, and I have converted to to parasolid format and imported into Gambit. The geometry is very complex and I do not seem to be having any luck meshing in Gambit. Here is the geometry. 29 volumes, 434 faces, and about a billion lines.Any advice?
I can can email somebody the file so they can better help. |

Try to simplify your geometry... I do not understand what is the purpose of the "lines" and if you tell what is expected to be done (wind pressure, thermal effects...) may be able to help...

What you show is only the solid domain, I assume you will have to solve an aero problem, so you have to extract the flui domain
--> boolean operation: substract the surrounding fluid domain wuth this solid domain From solidworks you could direct export the geometry as step file and then import it within gambit
