Importing a Surface Mesh

To import the surface mesh, the steps outlined below should be followed:

  1. Create one or more surface meshes in a mesh generator external to STAR-CCM+ and export it in a suitable file format.
  2. Import the surface mesh or meshes into STAR-CCM+, causing mesh regions and boundaries to be created.
  3. Review the surface mesh import report for errors.
  4. Visualize the geometry of the regions and boundaries that have been created and check the surface validity and mesh quality.
  5. Scale, rotate or translate the regions in order to properly position them relative to one another.
  6. If the boundaries and regions have not been properly demarcated, grouped or separated, you will have to manipulate regions and/or boundaries to make them conform with the requirements for multi-region meshing.

Previously defined volume meshes can be imported in tandem with surface meshes so that only a part of the simulation domain needs to be prepared for volume meshing.
