 Gambit vs. TGrid

Gambit is a grid-generator and a geometry modeler

TGrid is a “pure” grid generator

Gambit is a general purpose grid generator for unstructured grids

TGrid is more focused on tet-based algorithms

Gambit-GUI is “more” user-friendly

TGrid-GUI is aligned with Fluent solver interface
