Gridgen

Gridgen is a grid generation software that can be used to generate structured and unstructured grids. The package has the ability to generate grids in a variety of formats. This makes it useful if one is interested in generating grids that need to be used by Fluent and GASP (one does not have to go thru the process of generating a grid file for fluent and redoing the same thing for GASP (or for that matter any other solver)). The current version of Gridgen is 15.11 on the Intel 64 Linux cluster (Abe).

To use Gridgen on the Intel 64 Linux cluster (Abe), add the following line to the end of the .soft file in your home directory:

+Gridgen-15.11

To start Gridgen from the command line, type gridgen at the unix prompt after you login to Abe.
