HI, ztdep,
You have to modify blockMeshDict to build your gemoetry and mesh it. Or, you can use netgen to generate Tet mesh of your model (it reads stl/step/igs files). pei |

Hello ztdep,
you can generate the grid in a CAD/Mesh genearation tool. You can convert from the formats reported here: http://www.opencfd.co.uk/openfoam/do...l#x15-920003.6 Regards, Alberto

HI, ztdep,
Save the mesh/BCs to Fluent/CFX/Star-CD format. Then use OpenFOAM conversion utility (check user manual) to convert it to OpenFOAM format. then, you can run the solver. pei |

Yes, in GAMBIT, set the boundary conditions.
However, when imported in OpenFOAM, you'll have to set them again. The converter keeps the BC's names, but not their type. Regards, Alberto
