SUMMARY

The discussion centers on using slopes to create edges in Gambit for simulating turbulent flow around a sphere. The user, gambit_slope, seeks a method to efficiently generate edges from vertices using a scripting approach. A proposed solution involves creating edges in a loop, which could significantly reduce modeling time. Another user suggests importing pre-calculated vertex arrays from a text file as an alternative method.

PREREQUISITES
  • Familiarity with Gambit software for mesh generation
  • Understanding of turbulent flow simulation principles
  • Basic knowledge of scripting in Gambit
  • Experience with geometry creation in computational fluid dynamics (CFD)
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore scripting techniques in Gambit for edge creation
  • Learn about importing vertex data from text files into Gambit
  • Research best practices for meshing in turbulent flow simulations
  • Investigate advanced geometry creation methods in CFD software
USEFUL FOR

Engineers and researchers involved in computational fluid dynamics, particularly those focusing on mesh generation and turbulent flow simulations.

gambit_slope ->??

Hi All,

i am trying to simulate a turbulent flow arround a sphere...
before doings so i have to mesh the **** out of my model...
but before i can do this i got to complete the geometry.

Since i can not create Volumes directly out of Vertices (right?) i have to create edges first.

Here the questen:

can i use a slope for it??
something like:


for ( $ j = 0 ; j <= 20 ; j++)
{
edge create "edge.$j" straight vertices "vertex.20+$j" "vertex.21+$j" real
}

this would save a lot of time!

Thanks in advance!

I think it might be easier to import an array of vertices that you have pre calculated and saved in a text file.
