Hello everybody,

I am wondering if it is possible to create patches and different region automatically from a .stl file.

For a simple geometry I tried to isolate the faces belonged to the different regions I'd like to have in the .stl file manually. It works perfectly
But now I have a very complex geometry, isolating the region is impossible by hand.

AutoPatch doesn't work, because it isolates some single points as a region (the mesh is not perfect) or the whole geometry, depending on the angle.

I know I could do it with the tool createPatches or making different blockMesh regions for each patch.

Does anyone knows the best option??

Thanks in avdance for the help,

Julie
