Problem with STL geometry

stephan79

One more question.
I designed a very simple geometry using blender (something like the CASEDAMBREAK, without the second box); exported it as STL and used it within the Pre-Processing tool. Wanted to get run a very basic thing, before trying more complex geometries.
I used the Constants and Parameters of CaseDambreak, but my fluid just "drops down" instead of flowting till the other side of the box. What am I doing wrong?

The option to import STL geometries will create particles ONLY in FACE mode, no SOLID mode. So if you import fluid.stl you are not going to create a volume of particles, but fluid only in the limts

Hi Alex
thanks again for the answer. Made a "workaround" by creating a box of fluid instead of using the fluid.stl
seems to work.

Alex

the option "fillbox" to fill areas with fluid before given limits or before finding boundary particles is alway the most useful option
