3D Wing Analysis

Ed

Hello All: I am trying to do an analysis of a 3D wing as a learning experience toward my ultimate goal of analysis of a complete aircraft. Here is how I am approaching the problem so far:

1) Create a wing in Gambit 2) Create a domain around the wing (basically just a big box, much much bigger than the wing) 3) Subtract the wing volume from the domain volume 4) ...

This is where I'm stuck. I keep trying to mesh this volume with different options and procedures, but I can't get a good mesh. I tried meshing the surface of the wing first, with a small interval size and then meshing the volume, but it wouldn't do it.

I'm a complete Fluent/Gambit virgin. I've gone through the tutorials that Fluent offers on their website, but that is about the extent of my knowledge. Does anyone know of a good online tutorial to accomplish what I'm trying here? It would be nice to have something to follow along for the first try. Thanks!
