3. Preprocessing

The user can either manually prepare the mesh for Flow360 in a third-party meshing software, or use the automated meshing workflow when prototyping and rapidly adjusting the geometry. Flow360 solver supports the following mesh formats:

• AFLR3 (.ugrid).

• CGNS (single and multi-block).
