Engineering Solutions includes an application customized for CFD meshing, CFD shape optimization and other CFD tasks such as loads mapping. Native I/O support for AcuSolve, AFLR3, CFD++, CFX, FLUENT, and StarCD is available in the CFD application. Many other CFD solvers are supported through the CGNS format and the extended Nastran format (for pyramids).    

When you load the CFD application, the Utility tab contains many utilities for CFD meshing and associated tasks. The Utility tab contains two CFD specific sections: CFD Mesh and CFD I/O. Engineering Solutions has the CFD Tetramesh panel. This panel is intended to generate meshes for CFD applications. Typical meshes are of mixed type, and contain a combination of hexahedra, wedges/prisms/pentas, pyramids, and tetrahedral cells/elements.
