Seeking Guidance on Terrain Modeling for CFD Analysis in Rhino

Dear Rhino Community,

I am writing to seek assistance with a terrain modeling challenge I am facing as a newcomer to Rhino. I have successfully imported a digital elevation model (DEM) for a CFD analysis project, but I am at a crossroads regarding the next steps.

My primary uncertainty lies in refining the model to meet the specific requirements of my CFD analysis. The terrain under consideration possesses notable features such as steep hills, a winding river, and a large reservoir. While some details need simplification for CFD accuracy, others require intricate representation.

Given my current level of experience with Rhino, I would be immensely grateful for any insights, tips, or step-by-step instructions you may have for tackling this task. This could include guidance on utilizing specific commands or tools suitable for working with terrains featuring challenging characteristics like steep slopes, water bodies, and large reservoirs.

Furthermore, if you have recommendations for any relevant tutorials, online resources, or community forums that could further aid in addressing similar challenges, I would be very appreciative.

Thank you for your time and consideration. I eagerly await your expertise and look forward to learning from your knowledge and experience.
