Hi All,

I need to create a mesh by using snappyHexMesh.
I create the CAD file as an assembly and convert it into an STL. When I open such STL file it contains only a single "solid", while it should be composed by two solids, i.e. wall and cylinder. In this way I cannot distinguish them as different patches while making the mesh.
Does anyone know how to generate an STL file (from CAD) which contains the parts as different solids and not as a single object?
Best,

Tommy
