I´m trying to study a 2D airfoil NACA0012 (a classic) in OpenFoam, but i´m having problems with the mesh, i did the tutorial in simplefoam but the mesh is already done, and do no have a blockMeshDit, how can i create a mesh like the one in SimpleFoam tutorial?

How was created the airfoil mesh in simplefoam tutorial???

please help
