Preprocessing |:white_check_mark:|
==================================

The user can either manually prepare the mesh for Flow360 in a third-party meshing software,
or use the automated meshing workflow when prototyping and rapidly adjusting the geometry.
Flow360 solver supports the following mesh formats:

- AFLR3 (.ugrid).
- CGNS (single and multi-block).

for more details on generating CFD-friendly meshes see :ref:`here<knowledge_base_meshing>`.
