Hi,

I'm currently working on my dissertation, using OpenFOAM on a 3D aerofoil. having alot of problems using both the surfaceFeatureExtract and snappyHexMesh when meshing my geometry. when opening the stl files i can see the aerofoil within the bounding box but after i run the above commands the geometry does not appear anymore. I'll copy the error messages below. Does anyone have any advice or tutorial videos which import geometries using solid works and meshlab?

Many Thanks in advance for any help
