[snappyHexMesh] How do I put STL files in interFoam?

smj7467 · January 12, 2021, 04:12

Hello. It's only been a week since I learned Openfoam.

I am currently doing a tutorial using the dambreak in the interFoam.

I have a question.

The tutorial contains blockmesh of dambreak, but I would like to use Solidworks and STL files to add mesh directly.

I don't know even if I look for several videos.

Could you tell me how to put the STL file into the interfoam easily?

Or do you have a tutorial?

You can use snappyHexMesh for that. It's shown for example in the motorBike tutorial.
