The Hydra Toolkit can read meshes in multiple formats that are readily available from multiple meshing tools.
Meshing Software
Meshing tools that are compatible with the Hydra Toolkit 
include:
The abstract interfaces for mesh readers in the Hydra Toolkit permits additional readers to be easily added.
Simmetrix SimModeler now provides a Hydra Plugin for model setup providing direct associations between the mesh, Hydra analysis attributes, and the underlying CAD model.
Mesh Translators
The Hydra Toolkit provides the following mesh translators:
- Exodus-II to FLUENT (.msh) format
- FLUENT (.msh) to Exodus-II format
- ASCII Mesh to Exodus-II format
- Netgen neutral file to Exodus-II format
Computational Model Builder
The Computational Model Builder (CMB) provides a generalized interface that supports application model builders. Coming soon ... the extended Hydra template files for the CMB.
