BlockMesh Graphic Interface! Yes or No?
 

Good Morning,

I want to start a discussion about the possibility of building a graphic interface for blockMesh

I'm a BlockMesh user and i'm a starting to think of programming a graphic interface for BlockMesh, because i think some passages to build a mesh are very boring and need large mental efforts. Mainly i'm refferring to generation of blocks and definition of faces by considering the vertices in a clockwise sense. I think these operations are very difficult for mesh characterized by a large number of blocks, because it needs to remember exactly the order of the vertices.

So why do not simplify these operations with a simple graphic interface?

I would be very happy to know your opinion about this argument! Thanks :D

Sorry for my terrible english! Thanks :D

Hi Roberto,

If you use blender you might want to try SwiftBlock.

Hi Paulo, thanks for your reply.

I didn't know SwiftBlock and SwiftSnap till now, and looking at the images they are similar to that i have in mind. In the next days i surely will test both the programs. It seems someone else had worked to the same idea before me :D

Best Regards,
Roberto
