1. ICEM CFD Meshes for Drag Prediction Workshop
Structured Multiblock Meshes for WB & WBNP configuration
Unstructured Tetra + Prism Meshes
Three unstructured meshes for each configuration based on size of the mesh
Prisms & Pyramids can be readily converted into tetras for solvers that can not handle prism & pyramid elements

2. Files
ICEM CFD files, Plot3D files and CGNS files are available
CGNS files are written by ICEM CFD CGNS translator using CGNS library version 2.1
Plot3D files are written with Double precision, Formatted, no IBLANK array with ‘Whole’ data layout.
Contact for different format of the mesh
Wing-body configuration mesh files contains “wb” in the name, Wing-Body-Nacelle-Pylon configuration mesh files contains “wbnp”
