sudo is on a distinguished road
Ok, so first of all I'm still a newbie in the whole CFD realm. For importing & exporting meshes into and from OpenFOAM, I have two questions:

1. Is the obj format a viable format to carry 3D mesh data?
2. If it is, then how (and I will need detailed instructions ) do I import a mesh in obj format to OF?
3. If it is only for surface meshes, could I still import it to OF, then use snappyhexmesh to do the volume meshing?

Reason I'm asking is that I can import mesh files from CCM+ (I know about the conversion tool, but that's for another thread) as wrl files that Mesh lab recognizes, and then does import it to obj.

Thanks in advance.
