I want a bone windows software, free to convert IGES file to STL for use in STL snappyHexMesh OpenFOAM

Thank you

Hi,
How about HeeksCAD!

First thank you.

HeeksCad function very well to convert IGES to STL.

Question: With HeekCad is it possible to identify with the boundary condition for OpenFoam ?

Thank you

Hi All,

Do anyone have an idea on how to create an immersedBoundary.stl file as used in the IB flow around a cylinder tutorial in OpenFoam?

Many thanks in advance.

Hi John,

I think salome is a good choice for your request!

Best regards
Sasan.

Hello!
Did you find out the best way to transform IGES or STEP into STL format for OpenFOAM?
Are you able to translate also definitions of the boundaries to use for BC?

Thank you!
