Navigate to the working directory and select the cylinder.msh file. This is the mesh file that was created using the preprocessor GAMBIT in the previous step. FLUENT reports the mesh statistics as it reads in the mesh:

Check the number of nodes, faces (of different types) and cells. There are 500 quadrilateral cells in this case. This is what we expect since we used 5 divisions in the radial direction and 100 divisions in the axial direction while generating the grid. So the total number of cells is 5*100 = 500.

Also, take a look under zones. We can see the four five zones inlet farfield1, farfield2, outlet farfield3, wallfarfield4, and centerline cylinder that we defined in GAMBIT.
