ConnectorsDomainsBlocksExamples of Gridgen entitiesGridgen TerminologyWhat’s an Entity?Connectors are the curve entities that define all grid edges.Connectors are dimensioned by number of grid points with a distribution describing how they are placed.Nodes mark connector endpoints.Control Points let user define segment shape.Connectors contain one or more segments.Gridgen TerminologyConnectorsStructured Domains have exactly four edges.A Domain is a surface grid entity bounded by edges.Unstructured Domains generally have one edge (more if they the encompass holes).Structured Domains consist solely of quadrilateral elements.Unstructured Domains consist solely of triangular elements.Each edge contains one or more connector(s).Gridgen TerminologyDomainsA Block is a volume grid entity bounded by faces.Unstructured Blocks can consist of tetrahedral, pyramidal, and/or prismatic elements.Unstructured Blocks generally have one face (more if they encompass holes).Structured Blocks consist solely of hexahedral elements.Each face contains one or more domain(s).Structured Blocks are bounded by exactly six faces.Gridgen TerminologyBlocksA Grid is composed of volume and/or surface grid blocks.Hybrid Grids (such as that shown here) contain both structured and unstructured grid elements (quads, triangles, hexes, and tets) and can also have prismatic and pyramidal elements.Structured Grids contain only quadrilateral and hexahedral elements.Unstructured Grids contain only triangular and tetrahedral elements.Gridgen TerminologyGridsIn Gridgen, databases refer to collections of geometry information that can be used to define the shape to which the grid is to be built and typically come from computer aided design (CAD) sof
