HEXA: 2D grids on Tascflow.

February 18, 2002, 16:05

Hi everyone,
I was wonder if there's a way to create grids for Tascflow starting from 2-D blocks created in CFX-HEXA. In Hexa I can create 2-D grids for CFX-4 and CFX-5, but I can't do it for Tascflow since I don't have the third direction. So, can I do something like "extruding" the plane I have and create the 3rd direction and defining then at least 2 seeds to export the resulting grid for the tascflow code ? Please, I'll appreciate if I can see your opinion.

Hi, ICEM HEXA has a 2d-3d button in the topology menu. You will need to make your CAD 3d also so the projections are vaild.

Thanks David,
The AEA Support told me to use this command and it worked fine.
