Hello,

Does any one know how to scale multi-blocks in x-and y-direction using different scale factors? Basically the scale factor imposed on the block always the same.

Thanks!

-mAx- will become famous soon enough
do you want to scale your final mesh?

Hello Maxime,

That's what I want, scale a sphere mesh into a prolate mesh.

would you like to share it?

Thanks!

then you cannot.
In Gambit you can transform a geometry, but not the mesh (except translation / rotation)

Thanks your reply. How about to control through the *dbs? I find some one said this can be achieved via external LOOP.

once you mesh is done, you cannot "stretch it" (except in fluent with dynamic mesh).
If you want to transform it, you need to delete your mesh, adapt your geometry, then remesh

yes, that is what I want, delete the mesh firstly.
then adapt the geometry, I don't want to repeat the process, that is why trying to find the way to manipulate the geometry in Gambit, then re-mesh it.

is it possible? thanks,

ah ok.
Then use the journal file (*.jou) and adapt it.
you may also use parameter

Thanks Maxime! I will learn it to see if it works.
