DesignFOIL_Gridgen_2D

Name:

DesignFOIL_Gridgen_2D.glf

Description:

This script automatically generates a CFD grid for airfoils generated using DesignFOIL from DreeseCode Software.

1. Export the airfoil to a Gridgen segment file using the feature built-in to DesignFOIL.
2. Edit the script (.glf) file to set the airfoil segment file name and the CFD solver for which you want the grid to be generated.
3. Run Gridgen and execute the script from the Scripting menu.
4. The script generates the grid, displays the results, and writes the CFD solver file(s).
5. A sample airfoil segment file (NACA23012_gridgen.dat) is available for testing.
