If you have defined the geometry in BladeGen, I would use the following approach to generate a TurboGrid mesh from the BladeGen geometry:

-In BladeGen, go to File->Export->Neutral Data File.  Save the resulting NDF file in the user_files forlde of the WorkBench project

-Drag out Geometry from the Toolbox in WorkBench and open DesignModeler.  Use the BladeEditor icon "Load NDF" to load the Neutral Data file that was just generated

-Drag out TurboGrid from the Toolbox in WorkBench and attach it to the Geometry cell that was just created.  Generate the mesh in TurboGrid

This is the most accurate approach.Â
