Mesh

Open up ICEM CFD in the ANSYS 14 meshing folder.  After it loads, select File -> Import Geometry -> STL.  Locate the STL created in MIMICs.  Select the Generate option in STL import options that appears.

Now that the STL is imported, rotate the model to confirm the geometry is correct from the wire frame. 

Next a 'Body' has to be created.   This designates where the volume cells will be and where the fluid will flow. 

You'll need to turn on the body view seen in the image below to view the surface of the STL.

In the Create Body command, you'll need to select two point on the surface of the geometry where the centroid of those points is inside the cavity.  The easiest place to do this is in the back of the nasal cavity after the passages have joined together.
