SolidMesh provides a user friendly front-end to the Advancing-Front Local-Reconnection 2D (AFLR2) unstructured grid generator. The planar surface grids can be extruded or revolved to generate a volume grid.

Volume Grid Generation:

Extrude the surface grid to generate the volume grid.

Revolve the surface grid to generate the volume grid.  The axis of rotation is assumed to be the x-axis.

Specifies the number of planes to extrude or revolve the surface grid.

Specifies the distance between each plane when extruding the surface grid or the angle between each plane when revolving the surface grid.

Uses the 64-bit version of the grid generator. Usually, the default aflr2 executable is 32-bit and 2Gig is the maximum amount of addressable memory. If the grid to be generated is expected to be large (somewhere around 200,000 viscous surface points), use of the the 64-bit version may be required.

Specify the output format for the volume grid.

Generate the volume grid be either extruding or revolving the surface grid.
