Hi Javier,

Looking at you model my first question is how important is to 
model the iron sheet as volume? The ratio sheet thickness to the hole
radius looks small thus the question is if we can neglect the sheet
thickness. I know it can change the flow pattern but on the other 
hand it can make the mesh generation easier (for the simulation 
the drawback is the presence of internal boundaries).

Regards

Roman
