Hi all,
I have taken a look at the tutorial in OF user's guide...I managed to run it without any issues.

My model is a pipe of diameter D. I made the cylinder using a CAD program in this case, SolidWorks. I then exported the model as a STL file.

I have a question here.. How do I name the inlet and outlet of the pipe for using them as boundaries later in OF?

Now, I need to make a box using blockMesh with encloses the pipe geometry. Which I something I have no trouble doing. The next thing is the user guide is written for an external flow. If I understand the guide correctly, to mesh the inside of the pipe in my case, the locationInMesh should be point inside the pipe. Am I right?

Best Regards,
Vishwa
