VGRID
- Abstract
- VGRID is a robust, user-friendly computer program for
the generation of three-dimensional unstructured (triangular
surface and tetrahedral volume) grids in geometrically
complex domains. The base code (VGRID3D) has been developed
by ViGYAN, Inc. under a NASA Small Business Innovation
Research (SBIR) contract. Since completion of that
project (1990), considerable extensions to VGRID have
been developed at NASA Langley Research Center. These
extensions are an outcome of several years of research,
development, extensive application, and user-feedback
improvements. VGRID is a key component to the NASA
unstructured-grid software system TetrUSS, a recipient
of the 1996 NASA Software of the Year award. Along
with a graphical user interface utility GridTool and
a grid post-processing program POSTGRID, the VGRID
system provides a reliable tool for the fast and convenient
generation of unstructured grids around complex configurations.
The code, in conjunction with the unstructured-grid
solver USM3D and post-processing visualization program
ViGPLOT has been widely used by many researchers and
engineers from academia, industry, NASA, and other
government agencies for the past several years.
