Hello all,

I have decided to try out cfMesh but I am having some trouble defining my geometry. When I create the stl file I need in solidworks it only has one patch defined in it.

In all of the cfMesh tutorials they have different patches defined within the stl file. Does anybody know how this is achieved? I can't seem to figure out a straight forward way.

For example the elbow_90degree tutorial. The patches are defined in the stl file.

Is there another way to create patches for cfMesh?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
