  • To begin, we need a geometry model. It can be created using commercial softwares such as SolidWorks or NX and saved as *.x_t
  • Create a new directory, which will contain the new geometric model and boundary layer attribute file (BLattr.inp). Make a link to the geometric model:
  ln -s "model_name.x_t" geom.xmt_txt

Now copy whichever BLattr.inp file you wish to start from to your working directory.



  • You need the BLMesher code which can be found at:
