Hello everyone! I'm Liz, and I am very new to OpenFOAM, so please excuse me if I made a very obvious mistake. I am working on a project that requires me to model the approximate flow from a helicopter. I am using the pimpleDyMFoam tutorial "propeller" as a model, as I need to get the helicopter rotors rotating above the static fuselage. I have .obj and .stl files for all my model components and have run snappyHexMesh several times successfully. However, all I can ever see in paraFoam is the original mesh from blockMesh.

I know this question has come up several times on the forum but the solutions proposed there have not resolved my problem. I've tried moving the locationInMesh point around, running with and without -overwrite, and switching from .obj files to .stl files (this gave me an error with snappyHexMesh saying stl was not an accepted file type - I'm still confused by this since I have made a mesh with an stl before...).

I've attached all the relevent dictionaries and the snappyHexMesh log, I'd really appreciate it if someone could take a look and point out anything that looks wrong. I'm still learning how everything works together and probably have several mistakes besides whatever is causing this problem.

Thanks!
