billy Senior Member Billy Join Date: Mar 2009 Posts: 167 Rep Power: 17	Hello everyone, I have been working on a voxel mesh generator using STL files as input. This has two advantages: 1. It can handle complex geometries modelled by standard CAD applications, 2. It builds an orthogonal grid (mesh), which is ideal for FV calculations. In the meantime, I am testing it with some simple geometries and it seems to work. I can make the source code available soon to anyone wishing to try it.
