FORTUNA Solid leverages the Altair® HyperMesh® API to automatically generate TETRA meshes on solid geometries according to meshing rules. By simply dragging and dropping an assembly file in HyperMesh or CAD format onto the GUI and pressing START, users can initiate a streamlined, automated process that ensures consistent, accurate mesh generation.
A smaller SAG (chordal deviation) value results in a higher number of divisions, producing a mesh that closely follows the geometry while using coarse mesh.
By recognizing and appropriately meshing fillets, this feature ensures the mesh accurately captures the smooth transitions in geometry.
Simplifying small fillets/chamfers reduces mesh complexity, which can lead to faster computation times without compromising accuracy.
Accurate bolt and hole modeling are critical for structural analysis. Automation speeds up the modeling process and ensures consistency.
Proper node sharing on contact surfaces enhances the accuracy of simulations involving interactions between parts.
FORTUNA Solid automates meshing for complex part geometries, cleaning up models and aligning contact surface nodes. This ensures accurate simulations, overcoming manual meshing challenges, and significantly reduces preparation time for engineers.
