Step 1: Create Geometry in GAMBIT

This tutorial leads you through the steps for generating a mesh in GAMBIT for a wedge geometry. The generated mesh can then be read into FLUENT for fluid flow simulation.

The overall boundary is shown below. Image Added
 
Where ABCDE is the farfield boundary and FE is the wedge.

Start GAMBIT

Create a new directory called wedge and start GAMBIT from that directory by typing gambit -id wedge at the command prompt.

Under Main Menu, select Solver > FLUENT 5/6 since the mesh to be created is to be used in FLUENT 6.0.

Create Vertices

The coordinates needed for the mesh are shown below
