6.3 Mesh Import

Since ANSYS FLUENT can handle a number of different mesh topologies, there are many sources from which you can obtain a mesh to be used in your simulation. You can generate a mesh using GAMBIT, TGrid, GeoMesh, PreBFC, ICEM CFD, I-deas, NASTRAN, PATRAN, ARIES, Mechanical APDL, ANSYS CFX, or other preprocessors. You can also use the mesh contained in a FLUENT/UNS, RAMPANT, or FLUENT 4 case file. You can also prepare multiple mesh files and combine them to create a single mesh.
