the Geometrie in OpenFoam

the Geometrie in OpenFoam

the Geometrie in OpenFoam

(OP)
Hello everyone,

I am a new OpenFoam-user and have a lot of questions.... i read the User-guide...but still not understanding , how really openfoam works....

so...first of all .... i am interested on the geometry in OpenFoam:

I would like to understand, how OpenFoam builds the geometry..where can i find the information concerning the geometry, that i want to simulate ?
how can know....if my geometry is an air foil, a cylinder or a cavity ?

how can i import CAD-files into OpenFoam ? how can i use geometries, that i drew using a CAD-software ? should i only use the stl format ?

Thanks a lot !!!!!
