Reply To: STLreader error?

Hey @mathias,
My stl model is in metres, 41.56 m to be precise. dx was then given as ~1e-3. I noticed that I made a mistake in the above code for the stlSize scaling factor which I changed to 1. Even then, the output remains the same. I can show the modified parts of the code below:

const T physLength = 41.56; // reference length of simulation geometry in [m]
const T N = 40000; // number of voxels per charPhysL
const T dx = physLength / N; // lattice spacing in [m]
const T CFL = 0.05;  
const T Re = 20;
...
...
    UnitConverter<T,DESCRIPTOR> converter(
      (T)   dx,                        // physDeltaX: spacing between two lattice cells in [m]
      (T)   CFL*dx/0.2,                // physDeltaT: time step in [s]
      (T)   physLength,             // charPhysLength: reference length of simulation geometry in [m]
      (T)   0.2,                      // charPhysVelocity: highest expected velocity during simulation in [m/s]
      (T)   0.2*0.05/Re,              // physViscosity: physical kinematic viscosity in [m^2/s]
      (T)   1000.0                    // physDensity: physical density in [kg/m^3]
    );
    converter.print();
    STLreader<T> simvol( "sim_volume.stl", converter.getPhysDeltaX(), 1);

The rest remains the same.
