Surface meshing
The surface meshing module in Simcenter Hypermesh contains a robust engine for mesh generation that provides unparalleled flexibility and functionality. This includes the ability to interactively adjust a variety of mesh parameters, optimize a mesh based on a set of user-defined quality criteria and create a mesh using a wide range of advanced techniques.
Solid meshing
Using solid geometry, Simcenter Hypermesh can utilize both standard and advanced procedures to connect, separate, or split solid models for tetra-meshing or hexa-meshing. Partitioning these models is fast and easy when combined with Simcenter Hypermesh's powerful visualization features for solids. This allows less time spent preparing geometries for solid meshing. The solid meshing module quickly generates high quality meshes for multiple volumes.
Mesh controls
Mesh controls promote meshing automation for surface, batch meshing, adaptive and volume mesh generation. Detailed local and global control of mesh parameters for either the entire model or for individual features and regions of the geometry are possible. Mesh controls can be saved in the database or exported and reused in other models, promoting standardized mesh quality and repeatability.
Batch meshing
The Altair BatchMesher™ in Simcenter Hypermesh is the fastest way to automatically generate high-quality finite element meshes for large assemblies. It is available as a standalone application or directly within Simcenter Hypermesh.
By minimizing manual meshing tasks, this automeshing technology provides more time for value-added engineering simulation activities. BatchMesher provides user-specified control over meshing criteria and geometry clean-up parameters as well as the ability to output to customized model file formats.
Industry-specific meshing
Simcenter Hypermesh provides a variety of meshing algorithms for different industries and verticals, such as acoustic cavity meshing and mesh coarsening for NVH applications and shrink wrap meshing or SPH meshing. Simcenter Hypermesh also offers a highly-competitive suite of tools for CFD meshing.
