The first example uses :program:`modelbuilder` and :program:`OpenFOAM` to compute steady, laminar, incompressible flow around a geometric model of an airplane wing. For the model, we are using a wing section file that is included in the :program:`OpenFOAM` code repository. (There is a download link on the next page.) This example goes through the steps to create an :program:`OpenFOAM` project, import the model file, generate a background mesh, generate the analysis mesh, run the :program:`icoFoam` solver, and view the computed results.
