flum is on a distinguished road
Hi guys, I need to create a 3d mesh starting from a 3d CAD file (I'm using solidworks).
What mesh software can I use for my goal?
Can you advice me some books to read about this matter?

I'm very new at CFD, I'm trying to simulate a very viscous fluid (like the plastiline) extruded through a die, do you think with CFD can I obtain some realistic results?

Anyway, my first question is relative to know how create my first 3d mesh starting from a cad.

Thanks
