Note Gmsh doesn't model flow itself (though can interface to solvers), but you could use it for pre- (geometry & meshing) and postprocessing (visualization & data-extraction). One option would be to use the free Gerris flow solver, see e.g. http://gfs.sourceforge.net/examples/examples/tangaroa.html#htoc10. I don't think this used Gmsh, but the geometry is imported into Gerris as a GTS triangulated surface, which is easily translated from an StL triangulated surface output, and that is one of Gmsh's output formats. > Does it have a limit on the number of cell? I don't think so. Certainly not in the way some `free' demonstration versions of other packages have a deliberate cell number ceiling. > What file format can be imported? Quite a few: IGES, .STEP, .brep, .vtk, .stl, .unv, .medit, ... I think it depends a bit on what libraries you have around when you configure and compile Gmsh. _______________________________________________ gmsh mailing list [email protected] http://www.geuz.org/mailman/listinfo/gmsh
