Mesh conversion

ian0103 · June 22, 2015, 00:13

Hello all.

I would like to know some methods to convert mesh structure.

I know how to convert mesh file made by pointwise (*.pw) to mesh file which are suitable for OpenFoam or Ansys Fluent(Export - CAE)

Is it possible to process reversely??
That is, can I convert mesh files made by Gambit (*.dbs) to pointwise (*.pw)

Thanks all.

You cannot specifically convert a Gambit grid to a Pointwise grid.

However, you can import (convert) many other grid formats into Pointwise using the File > Import > Grid... menu.

In the list of supported types can be viewed in the File Import dialog's file type drop-list (see attached image).
