How to create a Mesh for an irregular shape

Hi, I need to create a square mesh for the irregular shape of a turbomachinery meridian section. The problem is that I can only create meshes on squares and i can't fit it on the whole section.
Any suggestion?

So it sounds like you want a triangulation. There are tools for that, but the more information you can give us the better.
If you have the PDE Toolbox, you may be interested in something like

Thank you very much for your interest and for the answer, I will now try to explain more accurately the problem.
I have to make a square mesh of that section (for which I have the function of the whole profile). The aim is to have the whole surface covered by squares in such a way that I can use the finite element method to draw the streamlines of the flow.
Operatively, I need to have the coordinates of every point inside the shape in order to apply the FEM formulas.
Do you think the problem can be solved easily? I can attach the program I've built so far if you want to have a look at. Thank you in advance.
Best regards, Giacomo
