I have been experimenting with the SwiftBlock addons that simplify the process of taking a mesh in Blender and defining that mesh in OpenFOAM. There are two versions and both are about at the same level of development. While they both work as advertised, I have come to the conclusion that neither will be appropriate for complex models. It was at this point, the little voice in the back of my head said, 'Of course, dummy! A wise man once said, "Always use the right tool for the job!"' (That little voice loves to quote himself!) While Blender is great for visualizing the results of numerical analysis, it was not made for creating the meshes used in said numerical analysis.

My first few attempts at uploading models to SketchFab were not overwhelming successes. There is not a one-to-one correlation between what a model looks like in Blender, especially rendered in cycles, and what it will look like in SketchFab. Like most things, it's a matter of understanding how to prepare the model in Blender to make the transition as easy as possible. This category of my blog chronicles the baby steps I'm taking. :)
