Hi,

I have a scanned surface as seen in the image below. I'd like to use this in OpenFOAM. I'd like examine how fluid flows over this surface, so I think the easiest way might be to have this become the roof of a pipe segment, with the walls and floor as simple straight boundaries that are no stick.

I collected the data as a point cloud with a scanner and then meshed it using 3rd party software. I have the CAELinux Virtual Machine so I can pass it through Engrid or gmsh or some other tools. I am seeking advice about which tool or workflow would be the best to modify the surface to become part of a pipe.

Thanks,

-k.
