GAMBIT 2.2 takes CAD cleanup and CFD meshing to a new level :

Fluent Inc. the worldwide leader in computational fluid dynamics, CFD, recently announced the release of GAMBIT 2.2, a major upgrade to Fluent's geometry and mesh generation software.

This new version of Gambit provides several key improvements:
- Improved geometry construction and clean-up tools
- State-of-the art meshing Size Functions
- Improved quad paving and boundary layer meshing

GAMBIT 2.1's semi-automatic Cleanup tools have been enhanced in v2.2. Fully automatic cleanup options are available for the most critical bottlenecks like slivers, short edges and sharp angles. A new "Cleanup Duplicate" geometry functionality has been added helping to provide full Cleanup toolkit for rapid geometry conditioning.

New smoothing and enhanced "Healing" operations also continue to produce higher quality geometries. Holes can easily be covered with an extended wire frame operation and flow domains can be created using the new, fully automatic, multi-volume stitch algorithm.

GAMBIT 2.2's Meshing Size Function feature has been praised by many beta testers as the leading mesh distributing technology on the CFD market. With a drastic speed increase and a new exciting "Meshed" Size Function, Gambit 2.2 provides a high quality mesh on virtually any geometry model. In addition, several quality and flexibility enhancements have been added to the Boundary Layer mesher and the code's unique Quad Paver. Antonio Bennardo, an engineer from EniTecnologie in Italy comments "I was impressed by the speed-up of the Size Function in Gambit 2.2. Besides, the unstructured quad mesher has been improved resulting in a mesh with better size transition and quality."

Examples of these new features available in Gambit 2.2:



Automatic Face Stitch of Wind Tunnel Volumes with Turning Vanes and Probe


2D Curvature Size Function (previously, the curvature size function was only available in 3D)


Example of the new and more robust boundary (prism) layer mesher
