Hi,

I'm fairly new to OpenFOAM and just beginning to make my own experiments and meshes. I have data collected with a LiDAR that is in pointcloud format (PLY, PCD). I can convert it easily to a gridded format using the opensource Points2Grid tool. I would like to be able to use this as one wall of my simulation. It does not seem that there is much overlap between the LiDAR and CFD. Has anyone done something similar, or have pointers or know of tools that can take a pointcloud and generate a mesh from it?

Thanks,

-k.
