Is it possible to obtain a surface mesh from CFX5

May 14, 2001, 08:40

Hi everyone, I'm looking to get out a surface mesh from CFX5 which I could then import into another software program. Is it possible to do this in build ? or is there any other way of getting the information out ? Also would this be in the form of a finite element mesh ? cheers for all and any help Stuart

You can do it with the export utility of CFX5 with boundary data only in whatever format is available in CFX5 (MSC/Patran etc)

In the preference menue select the mesh node,a form will appear change from AFI to surface mesh option and apply Now u can use isomesh or paver.
