<div dir="ltr">Hello everyone,<div><br></div><div>1, I am trying to create the mesh of the example ext_cyl with genbox, and pretek. After consulting the email archives online, I almost got it works. The question lies on mesh-merging. I used pretex. The commands is listed as follows.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I got a mesh ext_cyl.rea identical to the one in the example, when I visualized it with postx. However, when I use xxdiff to examine it, I found several differences.</div><div>BOUNDARY CONDITIONS: </div>
<div>FLUID BOUNDARY CONDITIONS:</div><div> 11 0.00000 0.00000 .....</div><div>For the file in the example, this line is</div><div>P 11 1337.00 3.00000 ......</div>
<div><br></div><div>So which step did I missed? To set the BC in pretek? Can someone gives a detailed command lines? </div><div><br></div><div>2, About creating the mesh, the wiki says that Nek5000 works with Moab Cubit, but this software is not free of charge. Is there any other free software for meshing? In the archive, I found the discussion about converting Gambit (we have Gambit in school) mesh to rea. The guy left an email address <a href="https://lists.mcs.anl.gov/mailman/listinfo/nek5000-users" style="white-space:pre-wrap">cmeador at tamu.edu</a><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap"> </span>, which is no more valid. </div>
