Pre/Post-Processing

Files:

• configure files: .cfg

• mesh files: .su2

The .su2 file format is defined as follows:

• line 3: The value “5” is triangle element type.

• line 17: The value “3” is line element type.

To generate mesh files in .su2 format using Gmsh:

cd FENGSim/starter/su2/quickstart
gmsh test.geo -2 -format msh -save_all
gmsh test.msh -refine -smooth 10 -save_all -format su2
mpirun -np 4 ./../../../toolkit/CFD/install/su2/bin/SU2_CFD test.cfg
