From OpenFoam to STL

lenzo · June 29, 2018, 08:49

Hello!
I know this might sound a bit stupid, but, I only find how to transform from stl to openfoam.

But do you know how to transform from the file "Points" in the polymesh directory to a object file?

Thank you!

You can use the surfaceMeshTriangulate utility.

If you can visualise your case in Paraview you should be able to export to any format that vtk supports, so "stl" is not a big thing

You can use stl to generate a mesh in SnappyHexMesh.
