Hi Luca

Yes, Mesh module can import STL meshes.

Thanks Saint Michael,
 
I have another question then. I need to simulate a simple laminar flow in a cylidrical cavity.
I'm a new user of SALOME and I really like it so I want to learn.
We made a PDMS block(silicon) with a channel inside. So today we are going to run the CT scan to get the volume. Do you think is better to take the volume of the channel as STL or his negative (the PDMS block with a cylidrical hole inside)?
 
thanks a lot

Unfortunately I am about null in analysis, hope somebody would answer you.

Ah ok. No well the question is do you know if SALOME will consider the STL file as a volume or a surface?

Thanks anyway for your help.

A mesh imported from STL considered to be 2D one within SALOME. If this mesh forms a water-tight domain, 3D mesh can be generated inside it.

Sorry St.Michael,

can you explain in more details what you meant in the two sentences. I think I didn't really understand what you meant. Sorry for that.

Well, I speak about abilities of Mesh module. From your question I deduce that you mean something different. Probably, saying "SALOME" you mean "SALOME Meca", but I mean only standard SALOME module one can download from this site, I never dealt  with SALOME Meca. Sorry.

Yes indeed I was considering SALOME Meca. Sorry for the missing information. But so..all that we spoke about I have to consider or in general should be the same? I tried to register of the forum of SALOME-meca but it says sadly:

This forum is not accepting new registrations.

haha. Ok maybe I try to ask here if there are people that use SALOME-meca? do you think is a solution?
