[Nek5000-users] Setting up a case from scratch

Hi Praveen,

I would recommend starting from the "ext_cyl" example.

You should be able to make some progress with this and
you could use prenek to modify the geometry if needed.
Check out the README in that directory.

Let me know if you have questions.
