Hi everybody,

the Ansys CFX Solver is an unstructured solver and a structured mesh will always be dealt with internally as an unstructured Mesh (Ansys Help, Reference Guide, 2.1 Valid Mesh Elements). Does this mean, that the Ansys CFX Solver will always convert a structured grid with a neighbor connectivity table/array (i,j,k) to an unstructured grid with node location and neighbor connection tables/arrays?

If this question is answered with "yes", whats the point in using a structured mesh with Ansys CFX if its advantage, the efficient structured storage, is lost due to the conversion to an unstructured mesh?

I hope my question is clear.

Kind Regards
