Hello,

I'm trying to mesh a volume with curved edges. I know I have to use the Spline function to do this.

My problem is that I have first to calculate the coordonates of the points of the curves, and I don't know how to do this on blockMesh.

Here is the file I use for Gambit, but I don't know how to do the same on blockMesh : how should I declare $Y for example?
