Introductory GAMBIT Training GAMBIT 2.3 June 2006 Introduction ◆ Objective: ⚫ Create and mesh the fluid region for flow problems and solid regions for heat transfer (and structural analysis for FIDAP Users). ⚫ Typically accomplished by constructing and working with lower order entity objects and volume primitives. ◆ Terminology: ◼ Vertex – A point in space. ◼ Edge – A curve that is defined by at least 1 vertex (in the case of 1 vertex, the edge forms a loop). ◼ Face – A surface (not necessarily planar) bounded by at least 1 edge (except for sphere and torus). ◼ Volume – A geometric solid, can be thought of as an air-tight set of connected faces.
