Chapter 2: Sector mesh diesel engine (GM 1.9L)

In this chapter the guidelines to create the grid for Kiva-3V for a sector diesel engine (Fig. 2.1) with ICEM CFD are shown. In the first paragraph it is explained how to create the 3D geometry using a list of points like "IPREP" in Kiva using some CAD modeling features capabilities of the software. In the paragraphs 2.2 and 2.3 the meshing creation and the exportation to Kiva3V mesh are shown respectively.

Other information for creating a simpler sector mesh for Kiva can be found at Randy Hessel's website.
