Gridgen

Abstract
G ridgen is the interactive, graphically oriented software system for the generation of 3D, multiple block, structured grids. The system consists of two codes - interactive Gridgen and batch Gridgen3D. S ince Gridgen's inception, the software has been distributed to over 300 sites and has been used to create grids for spacecraft, fighter aircraft internal and external flowfields, missiles, submarines, surface vessels, sailboats, turbomachinery, blood vessels, external automotive flowfields, and internal combustion engines by users from industry, government labs, and academia. W ith Gridgen, there's no need to worry about complicated mappings from the grid to computational space, and no index and numbering conventions to remember. Gridgen's clean, managed, graphical user interface automates the grid's bookkeeping so that you can concentrate solely on creating a grid. The flexibility of Gridgen's GUI has allowed the addition of new software capabilities over the years, without forcing you to learn new interface tools.
