Gambit to Star-CD
 
Hi all,

I'm a new user. Is it possible to do the meshing in Gambit and then export it to Star-CD. How can i do that? please help.

Thanks.

a hint: clear the cell types in star-cd before importing. Leave a fluid type.

another expensive hint: if you want baffles then simply don't connect the faces between volumes where the baffles are supposed to be. Star-CD will see this as a wall and not merge the vertices automatically. You can also set a boundary face in Gambit but it will only give you a boundary in star-cd and not a baffle.
