Discretizer

Prolog
I've tried to do som CFD calculations (Computational Fluid Dynamics) with GPL-tools such as OpenFoam and Gerris Flow solver. Bad thing is that in order to do some useful simulations you got to have a good mesh. So, when you can get all solvers and postprocessing for free, why pay a lot of money for a mesh creation tool?

The goals for Discretizer is to make it easy to do a hexahedral mesh.

Work procedure:

1. Discretizer create a geometry and mesh
2. OpenFOAM perform the calculation
3. Paraview is used for postprocessing

Usage
Basic concept is select something. Then Create->point/line/face/cube.

Examples:
1. Select a line (and optionally a coordinate system)
2. Create -> Face
3. Input values for extrusion of Face

1. Select two unconnected lines (and optionally a coordinate system)
2. Create -> Face
3. Input number of mesh points for Face

1. Select nothing
2. Create -> Cube
3. nothing could be done because a Cube has to have a Point or Face(s) as reference

Creator
Creator of Discretizer is Björn Bergqvist, M.Sc. with many years experience of industrial CFD-calculations (since 1995) (Resume). Currently I work for FS-Dynamics.
The programming language of Discretizer is Ruby and the GUI is FOX toolkit with ruby-bindings via fxruby. License is GPL version 3.
