Meshing STL Using snappyHexMesh in OpenFOAM

Codeynamics via YouTube

Overview

Learn how to mesh STL files using snappyHexMesh in OpenFOAM through this comprehensive 42-minute tutorial. Begin with converting binary STL to ASCII format and scaling down the STL file. Progress to creating a blockMesh and implementing snappyHexMesh for more complex geometries. Explore parallel processing techniques using decomposePar, refine the mesh for improved accuracy, and examine the final mesh output. Conclude by setting up boundary conditions for your simulation. Follow along with a practical example using an aircraft geometry file, gaining hands-on experience in OpenFOAM mesh generation techniques.
