The document provides instructions for mapping a hexahedral mesh on a NACA 0012 airfoil geometry in ANSYS Meshing. It describes inserting face meshing on the 4 faces of the airfoil, adding edge sizing with 100 nodes on the airfoil edges, checking the mesh quality and statistics, and transferring the mesh to ANSYS Fluent or ANSYS CFX for computational fluid dynamics simulations.

Mesh Transfer to Fluent or CFX • You can transfer mesh to Fluent or CFX. • CFX (2d cases): extrude it one cell with 0.3 m thickness in z-direction. Axisymmetric: revolve by one cell by 5 deg. • CFX (2d cases): Export case file from fluent and import into CFX (see tutorial on CFX with Fluent mesh .msh).
