Import Exisiting Meshes into NUMECA

zoeburton1987 · July 12, 2012, 09:13

Hi,

I'm currently simulating steam turbine exhaust diffusers and am looking to use NUMECA to run a calculation of a LP stage and accompanying exhaust hood. The CAD models have been developed in Solidworks and meshes generated in Pointwise and previous calculations run successfully in ANSYS Fluent 12.

I am now looking at using the extended capabilities of NUMECA, but am unsure how to import my existing meshes from Pointwise (which were many weeks in devleopment!) to run in FINE/Turbo.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Kind regards,

Zoe

I solved this problem - the mesh I was trying to important has unstructured blocks in the tip region and I am now in the process of remeshing in AutoGrid5.
