Hello all,
I have the task to mesh a geometry that looks like the skit I attached. As you see it has a lot of "holes". The actual geometry that I have to model has even way more such holes, so that I am unassure if I should try meshing this with blockMesh. Are there other meshers, which would allow to model this complex geometry faster than with the all manual blockMesh? |

Salome for the geometry generation and structured mesh would be a fine approach.
Another would be to create the geometry using google sketchup or Salome and use Netgen to create an unstructured mesh. Best
