Feature request: 3D boundary layer capability analogous to Engrid
Gmsh has many great features especially related to mesh size and cell distribution in the domain but boundary layers are not yet optimal for 3D external flow studies. There is a cumbersome approach to use gmsh in combination with Engrid its development has been discontinued 2013 which causes many problems due to versioning and bugs etc.. Engrid allows to create a very good boundary layer mesh after importing a 3D geometry prepared with gmsh creating a boundary layer mesh zone above the surface consisting of high elements which are then sliced into layers to form the boundary layer mesh. The volume mesh is created with gmsh. Artur demonstrated and explained the approach in detail on the OpenFOAM forum some time ago.
I'll try to do the same using Meshkit but having the functionality in gmsh would be great.
