Input Files

In this example we are going to use man.geo.

In this file, you see that a *.stl file is imported. Furthermore, we build a structure around it to delimit our working volume, and function as a wind tunnel.

man.geo

Geometry.Tolerance = 1.e-6;
MeshSize =  2.  ;
StdSize  = 10.  ;

// Note that importing a *.stl creates a Surface.
Merge "man_model.stl" ;

// Building wind tunnel
Point(1) = { 1.5 * StdSize,-13.0, 1 * StdSize, MeshSize};
Point(2) = {-1.5 * StdSize,-13.0, 1 * StdSize, MeshSize};
Point(3) = {-1.5 * StdSize,-13.0,-2 * StdSize, MeshSize};
Point(4) = { 1.5 * StdSize,-13.0,-2 * StdSize, MeshSize};

Line(1)  = {1 , 2};
Line(2)  = {2 , 3};
Line(3)  = {3 , 4};
Line(4)  = {4 , 1};


Line Loop(1) = {1, 2, 3, 4};
Plane Surface(2) = {1};

Extrude{0, 3.0 * StdSize, 0 }{ Surface{2}; }


Surface Loop(1) = {1};
Surface Loop(2) = { 2, 13, 17, 21, 25, 26};

// Define volume around man
Volume(2) = {2,1};

// Defining physical elements
Physical Volume("Fluid")  = {2};

Physical Surface("Man  ") = {1};
Physical Surface("Floor") = {2};
Physical Surface("Inlet") = {13};
Physical Surface("Outlet") = {21};
Physical Surface("Walls") = {17, 25, 26};

Visually the model will look like this:

Lastly, the mand.din file.

This time, we have added an interesting command on line 12 (highlighted above), which sets the corner of the mesh as a reference for the pressure calculated in the rest.

Moreover, the post commands on line 25 and 26, will be explained later as well.
