Once I am satisfied with my domain box I trim the surface in symmetry plane and join all surfaces. In property window we see the type of geometry (closed polysurface), that shuld be insurance that there is no leaks. File/export selected and choose parasolid .x_t, and gemoetry is ready for star-ccm+ 3. Importing surface mesh
In import surface options dialog I choose -create new region -one boundary per face -one region per body
The bounduries is now order and rename as shown in the picture below. In property window type of the boundaries is changed in: In: velocity Inlet Out: Pressure Outlet Sym: Symmetry Plane
Click and drag the selected item onto the open Mesh 1 Scene on the right to view the surface mesh
Mesh looks little unnecessary fine. I want to keep mesh fine close to boat and little bit rougher far from the boat , so I go: Continua / Mesh1 / Reference Values / Base Size / 5 m
Region 1/ 0-hull / Mesh condition / custom surface size , select (properties) Region 1/ 0-hull / Mesh Values/ Surface size / Target .. 12% , min ..12% Region 1/ 0-deck/ Mesh condition / custom surface size , select (properties) Region 1/ 0-deck/ Mesh Values/ Surface size / Target .. 25% , min ..25%
Mesh Values/ Custom size / 50 % Trimmer anisotropic / PW choose Z / Relative Z size 12 % Mesh 1 / Trimmer / PW / Check Do mesh alignment Mesh 1 / Reference Values / Mesh alignment location / leave 0,0,0
9. Volume meshing
Click this icon the start volume meshing

Create a second block in front of the boat and a third refinement around the boat
-second block
-third block
Add a second volumetric control with block2 as input, and 6% anisotropic only mesh size Add a third volumetric control with 12% isotropic only size

Click & drag sym boundary onto scene window / add to Scalar 1 17. Visualising functions
Obviously this does not work I should see something like this:
