patches        (SHMnose SHMmid SHMsupports);
rho            rhoInf;
rhoInf        1;
liftDir        (0 0 1);
dragDir        (1 0 0);
CofR        (0.72 0 0);
pitchAxis    (0 1 0);
magUinf        20;
lRef        1.42;
ARef        0.75;

Cheers,
Yann

Thanks Yann, finally found the correct the multi bodies syntax !

Thanks quarkz!



With help from people like you and Yann, I might just accomplish my goal of attaining a basic proficiency in external aerodynamics. Related to that, my current effort is to simulate flow through a 3D radiator, having gotten the 2D case to work, with Yann's help.

To do this, I will be making use of setSet, as taught by Tobias Holzmann in his video. It's a sure thing that I will have problems, so stay tuned!
