Hello foamers ;

I'm trying to learn my self openfoam ,, i see some examples in the tutorials and then i makes some very simple geometries using blockMesh

but now i decide to make my own mesh ,, i found it is not easy to use blockMesh to make complex meshes ,, it is very time consuming

instead i search that forum to find solutions ,, i found some members use a program called netgen to make their meshes ,, i got this software ,, but it need strange input format files like " *.stl , *.stlb , *.step , *.stp , *.geo , *.igs , *.iges , and *.in2d i don't even kow how can i make this files that contain my geometry !! ,, if any one know how it works please help me

also, i wonder why openfoam doesn't accept meshs from ,for example, Autocad that we can make our meshes using it very easy and accurate ,, and save much time !! .



thank you very much
