I am in the process of learning netgen and openfoam.
Due to lack of tutorials, I intend to make one with the help of everyone in this thread.

Here is my plan of attack:

1. Geometry exported as *.igs
2. *.igs loaded into Netgen 4.9.11
3. Netgen Surface Mesh
4. Netgen Volume Mesh
5. Locate and assign patches
6. Set up case files in OpenFOAM 1.6
7. Solve case
8. Export something useful like drag.


I am currently at stage 4. Attempting to mesh the volume will crash Netgen. I attempted geometry healing, but it made the surface skew into many triangles. *.step files did not work either.

The geometry I generated is simple, but non-trivial. An *.igs file is attached to the inside the zip.

Any assistance will be helpful. Thanks guys!
