	The linked [https://fluid.colorado.edu/tutorials/RajDemoPrepSolvePost.mov video] will take you through the process of converting your mesh (<code>.sms</code> file) and your model (<code>.smd</code> file) into a single file that [[Chef]] can read and work with. If done properly, you will output a subdirectory called <code>mdsMesh_bz2/</code>. In this directory, there should be a file called <code>0.smb</code>, which is what Chef will use.
