Can model made in Airpak been imported in gambit

April 18, 2003, 06:40

Hi, I am wonder if the model made by Airpak2.0 can be imported in Gambit2.0. It seems that it can not be imported directly, because they have different file type. I think Airpak can make models quickly, but it has some limits on meshing. Thank you in advance.

It is not possible. But Airpak uses Icem-CFD's mesher, so it very good indeed. I did not have any major problems with the mesher yet, what is your problem?

you could import the .cas file written by airpak into gambit as a mesh file.

Walter is right, sorry I missed it.

Thank you very much. Yes I know .cas file can be opened in Fluent. But it seem this file can not be opened in gambit. Because I want to remesh the model in gambit.
