Open multiple stl files via snappyHexMesh utility

bineet_aero · July 16, 2014, 04:08

Is it possible to import two different stl files in snappyHexMeshDict and mesh them. I want to mesh a cylinder and an airfoil. The aim is to use AMI between these two mesh interfaces and make the airfoil move.

Please let me know any other way also.

i have stl file with both of the geometries included. Will it be possible for me to use snappyHexMesh to mesh them such that cylinder remains fixed while the airfoil moves. I guess it won't because the two geometries are the part of same stl.. Please correct me
