Hi all I am new with Ansys release 12 and I have a question about it:
how I can draw geometries in Ansys Fluent release 12 ? is there software for drawing mesh like Gambit with it? should i make export for file mesh to fluent too?

Fluent is to setup solve and post CFD solutions and not create geometry or meshes. For that use Gambit, ICEM or DM+AMP (v12/13). You can still create meshes in Gambit then import into WB for solving or straight into Fluent for setup+solve.
