1、Cart3D使用教程（OverviewThis tutorial illustrates how to generate a grid in Cart3D around a set of three plugs.This tutorial introduces the following operations:1. Use of the Cart3D mesher for mesh generation.2. Multigrid preparation running mgPrep.The input files for this tutorial can be found in the An

2、sys Installation directory, under ./docu/Tutorials/CFD_Tutorial_Files/Cart3D_Examples. Copy and open the plugs.uns file in your working directory.Note: It is preferable to create a separate folder plugs and put only the plugs.uns (domain/mesh) file in that folder before performing this tutorial.Sele

3、ct Open Mesh from the main menu and select plugs.uns. The model contains three closed triangulated components. Press the h key to fit the view in the screen if the model is not visible.Click on the Cart 3D tab. Select the Volume Mesher icon . The following window will open.Toggle ON Fix Normals-it w

This saves the mesh in the local directory, converts in into Cart3D for

5、mat, and determines the intersections if any. This step is required even if there is only one component - to convert the triangulation to Cart3D tri format. At the end, it displays the Finest Cell Dimension as shown below.Figure 3-482 Cart3D Mesher windowThis will create 4 density polygons for mesh
