How to create C-grid in GridPro

TedBrogan · September 25, 2014, 20:43

All,

Can anyone please tell me how to go about creating a C-grid around an airfoil in GridPro? My solver is coded for that topology only. I am moving towards a 3D periodic C-grid about a blade, but I can probably figure that out after I see how a C-grid can be forced as the output in GridPro.

Many thanks for any help you can offer.

Extremely useful tutorial. I was looking for something like that, but I could not find it anywhere. Thank you so much.

Hi, I'm interested in meshing an airfoil using GridPro as well - the link to the tutorial is no longer active, would it be possible to ask for the tutorial?

Dear Katherine,

You can look at the following tutorial. It was explained with respect to GridPro's old UI(az). May be you can look at the concept and try to execute the same in the new GUI.

Hi Vimal,

Thank you very much for the tutorial! I am brand new to GridPro, so this helps in getting familiar with the software. Thanks again!

Sincerely,
Katherine
