Hello everyone,

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.

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.
BOUNDARY CONDITIONS:
FLUID BOUNDARY CONDITIONS:
                   11              0.00000    0.00000  .....
For the file in the example, this line is
P                 11              1337.00    3.00000  ......

So which step did I missed? To set the BC in pretek? Can someone gives a
detailed command lines?

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 cmeador at
tamu.edu<https://lists.mcs.anl.gov/mailman/listinfo/nek5000-users> ,
which is no more valid.

Thank you very much!

Best regards

Tubois
