Ennova
From CFD-Wiki
Ennova is a commercial pre-processor which includes geometry cleanup, mesh generation, solver setup, and visualization. Ennova does not include any CFD solver, but coupled with one (such as OpenFOAM) provides a complete modern, distributed, scalable CFD package. It is developed by Ennova Technologies, Inc. in Berkeley California. Development of Ennova started in 2007 and is being actively developed as of February 2023.

Geometry Healing
Ennova's geometry repair module offers automated as well as manual functions. It can be used to stitch together geometry that is missing connectivity information (such as IGES) or repair connectivity information when it exists. Sliver surfaces can be merged. Holes can be closed. Small features can be removed. Boolean operations are available to extract the "air solid" from a collection of solids.
