Alpha release June 9th, 2008

discretizer-alpha.zip
Uncompress and run discretizer.rb after you installed FXRuby.

On system with OpenFOAM CFD solver installed you can read the tut01.dtz file and apply boundaries. Then run the OpenFOAM solver from Discretizer run dialog. I've just set it up for simpleFoam, stationary incompressible flow with the k-epsilon turbulence model. The fluid is air. This feature might be broken.

Install on Ubuntu (tested on 64-bit 8.04)

sudo apt-get install g++ libxrandr-dev libgemplugin-ruby rubygems libopengl-ruby ruby1.8-dev libfox-1.6-0 libfox-1.6-dev libfox-1.6-doc libfxscintilla17 libfxscintilla-dev subversion subversion-tools

wget http://rubyforge.org/frs/download.php/39358/fxruby-1.6.16.gem

sudo gem install fxruby-1.6.16.gem

svn co https://discretizer.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/discretizer discretizer

cd discretizer/discretizer
ruby discretizer.rb

Script containing the above commands: http://www.discretizer.org/files/ubuntu.txt

Run:
sh ubuntu.txt

When you want to run discretizer again, double-click on discretizer.rb and click on "Run in Terminal"

Run Discretizer on windows

Download Discretizer from Subversion repository:
http://www.discretizer.org/node/12

Installation on Linux:

Uncompress the file. Put the discretizer folder in /opt and run /opt/discretizer/bin/discretizer
If you put it in the home directory use http://www.discretizer.org/files/discretizer.home instead. I noticed that the supplied discretizer.home doesn't work.
Install OpenFoam for full functionality: http://www.opencfd.co.uk/openfoam
Main thing about OpenFOAM installation is to put: . $HOME/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.4/.OpenFOAM-1.4/bashrc in your .bashrc file.
". $HOME/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.4/.OpenFOAM-1.4/bashrc"

Build it yourself

If you want to compile it for your self: http://www.discretizer.org/files/Build_of_Discretizer_mesh_program.pdf
I noticed that in last Ubuntu version the fox toolkit was in the repositories. Then you just have to compile FXRuby, please get the 1.6.13 or later version.

This is still Pre-Alpha software, don't report any bugs or missing features.
