SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the need for Gambit to build geometry for use with Fluent 6.3.26. Users are struggling to find a legitimate source for Gambit, as it is reportedly going out of production and being replaced by ANSYS DesignModeler. Alternatives such as open-source programs for 3D modeling are suggested, including resources from CAELinux. The conversation highlights the importance of obtaining software legally and the challenges associated with accessing older tools.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Fluent 6.3.26 for computational fluid dynamics.
  • Familiarity with Gambit for geometry construction.
  • Knowledge of ANSYS DesignModeler as a replacement tool.
  • Basic awareness of open-source software options for 3D modeling.
NEXT STEPS
  • Research how to use ANSYS DesignModeler for geometry creation.
  • Explore open-source alternatives for 3D modeling, specifically those included in CAELinux.
  • Learn about the legal implications of software acquisition and usage.
  • Investigate community forums for additional resources and support regarding Fluent and geometry tools.
USEFUL FOR

Engineers, researchers, and students involved in computational fluid dynamics, particularly those using Fluent and seeking geometry construction tools.

Hi,

I recently obtained Fluent 6.3.26 and I was told that I would require Gambit in order to build the geometry for use on Fluent.

However, I can't find anywhere to get Gambit from, since none of the torrents I tried to get it from work.

Could someone tell me where I could get Gambit from or any other software that can be used to construct the geometry fir fluent from? Pls provide a link or something. Also, since I am at home for the holidays, I can't get it from any college-mates.

torrents? are these legal copies you are trying to acquire? Also, using "obtained" instead of "purchased" leaves the door open for interpretation...if you know what I mean.

Anyway, it seems that Gambit is going out of production and being replaced with ANSYS DesignModeler.

Other than that, I am sure there are open source programs that you can use to build 3D models. To start, look at the http://www.caelinux.com/CMS/ distribution and what it comes with.
