I am currently using Gambit for Meshing. Because of discontinuation of Gambit, I am looking for a new Meshing software like Gambit. Most of my research work is related to Linear Cascade. I am not sure if there is any software like Gambit. I looked at ICEM, Pointwise, but all of my previous meshes are in DBS format. Kindly advice.

hypermesh，tgrid，ansys-meshing，etc

proprietary automatic elliptic mesh generator can quickly generate 2D or 3D high-quality (in terms of orthogonality angle, expansion factor, and aspect ratio) multi-block structured hexahedral grids featured with boundary orthogonality, local clustering around bodies, and complete continuity at block-to-block interfaces. Such hexahedral grids especially allow for the accurate CFD prediction of complex flow in the boundary layers and sub-layers adjacent to the wall surfaces. These grids are particularly useful and feasible for blood pumps where flow patterns in tiny blade tip clearances and annular fluid gaps need to be revealed with very refined high-quality mesh. With the same number of grid elements, a structured hexahedral grid can provide far more accurate solutions than those unstructured tetrahedral grids. A structured grid with hexahedral elements is also more desirable for application in geometric shape optimization than an unstructured grid with tetrahedral cells.

Our advanced automatic elliptic mesh generator can generate the mesh with formats compatible with lead CFD software such as ANSYS-FLUENT, ANSYS-CFX and STAR-CD etc. It can be applied to any types of turbomachinery, medical devices or industrial products.

You can try CUBIT. It is a commercial sotware, but its more or less same as Gambit.

CUBIT & Gambit can only generate the Tetrahedral elements grids, which need much more number of elements to get the same accurate solution as the multiblock structured hexahedral grids. Please see this very carefully:

Gambit can hexa structured (map), hexa unstructured (pave), tetra (tgrid), tetra (hexcore), etc...
