  i want to model porous aerofoil or porous trailing edge aerofoil on FLUENT. I generate the mesh using pointwise software. The problem is how to choose the whole aerofoil or just the trailing edge and define them as porous part to add porous material flow resistance to that part.

  can you please insert some images.
  
  if i understand the problem correctly then you need to define boundary names before coming to fluent.
  
  if you have only single boundary name in fluent, separate boudary using domain -. zones - separate.
