Tip of the Month 25.06 - Creating geometries for MFIX-Exa in OpenSCAD

When creating geometries in OpenSCAD, make sure there is overlap between separate components.

  • Faces that are flush (touching but not overlapping) probably will not create the EB geometry successfully in MFIX-Exa because it the touching faces maybe interpreted as walls.

  • Be mindful of “round off” when specifying the overlap. For example, y = 10. + 1e-8 will probably get rounded to 10. so you do not get the tiny overlap you wanted.
