Launching the Software
Once your environment is properly set, as shown in the convert step video, run: vglrun /projects/tools/SimmetrixTest/SimModeler7.0-190626 in your terminal to launch simmodeler. Note that 7.0-190626 specifies the version of simmodeler you are launching.

Applying Mesh Attributes
3D Boundary Layers
One of the most important aspects of proper volume mesh development is generating proper 3D boundary layers. This process is well outlined here from around 8:30 to 16:00.
2D and 1D Boundary Layers
To generate a proper surface mesh, it is important that both 2D and 1D boundary layers are implemented. Note that a 2D Boundary layer is defined on a surface and a 1D Boundary layer is defined on a line. The linked video shows both 2D and 1D boundary layers being applied to an airfoil and the mesh that results from these applied attributes.
Mesh Size and Face Extrusions
Two more useful attributes when generating a proper surface mesh are defining mesh sizes and Face Extrusions
