#GMSH STRUCTURED MESH SOFTWARE#

But today is not that day! For users of open-sources software, including OpenFOAM, meshing is a constant struggle. I still love Pointwise, and if I ever decide to move away from open source meshing that will be my choice.

This is just my opinion on what mesher I use in a few typical cases.ĭuring my PhD we were very spoiled and used the software Pointwise to generate our meshes. This post should help point you in direction of the mesher you could use to accomplish your simulating goals! But I won’t go into each mesher in detail here. Here, I’ll give a high-level overview of my opinions on open-source meshing for OpenFOAM.
