Question about mesh format

swm · November 6, 2016, 23:01

Hi guys, recently I've been working on the issue about how to output multi-block structured grid with Autogrid, such as plot3d format. Currently, I can only output the mesh as CGNS format. Does anybody have any experience in this topic? I will appreciate your help.

Dear swm,
you are able to load your AutoGrid5 mesh in IGG. From IGG you can export it in plot3D for example. (File->Export)

"This PLOT3D format only stores the blocks coordinates and should be used with the ".bcs" file containing the boundary conditions."
