Hi Sivakumar,

All CFX pre-processors can import from a variety of grid formats, several of which are common with export formats from Gambit. Export to one of these neutral formats (Plot3D for instance) and import into CFX.

Which CFX application are you using? CFX-4, CFX-5, or CFX-TASCflow?

Regards, Robin

Hi Sivakumar,

There are only a few differences in how the imported behaves. For CFX-5.4, create a new database and select "imported mesh" at the prompt.

Are you running 5.4 or 5.4.1?
