Import formatted point data File/import geometry/formatted point data  Typically in an ASCII file Specially formatted Can be extrapolated to 3D, with scaling, twist, etc. High or low curvature, etc. May require different blocking strategy(Topology) Requires some robust scripting Formatted point data File format, “.dat”[1] The data is read in as Bspline data The Formatted point data option converts formatted point data into the ANSYS ICEM CFD format. Each surface's data is represented in the following way: The first line contains two numbers, the number points for each curve, and the number of curves for each surfaces . The remaining lines represent the points of the surface.
