Hi,

Is there a way to assign names to surfaces of a geometry, let's say top and bottom of a cube. Then export the CAD file into an stl file such that those surface names are already in the stl file.
I am planning to use snappyHexMesh in OpenFOAM. Surface names in stl will allow me to have boundary patch names when snappyHexMesh is done.

Thanks
GrenadeFart
