Problems with PLOT3D import in GAMBIT

AleDR · May 5, 2011, 10:53

Hi!

I have some problems with mesh file conversion!!
I'm trying to import NASA grid for the flat plate test case in GAMBIT... but I don't know how to!!
I am puzzled by the file extension... .p3dmft ? It should be a PLOT3D file format, but I couldn't handle it with Import -> Mesh because file format is unknown.

Can anybody help me?

Thanks!

Have you tried just changing the file extension to see if it will take that?

It might be worth a shot.

Yes,
I tried the .xy extension for 2D grids but didn't work.

I don't know what are the file extensions supported by GAMBIT and the PLOT3D file extensions are quite awkward..!
