Export Edge mesh in Gambit

mecipema · February 15, 2011, 08:49

Hai guys.

I am not able to export an edge mesh generated in Gambit. It is giving an error. I have selected the solver as Polyflow. Would like to know whether it is possible or not

what do you want to do with an edge?
You can export a 2d or 3d geometry.
But I don't believe you can export a 1D geometry

I wanted to generate mesh for my Boundary Element Program. I guess I need to search for an other mesher or write the code for it. Ny ways Thank u mAx. If any option is there please let me know

If you have access to ICEM CFD, that will work. You can generate and export only the line elements if that is what you want to do.

ICEM doesn't judge you

In all seriousness, ICEM CFD was designed as a general pre-processor. It works for hundreds of solvers, each with different needs, so it is very flexible.
