Meshing

What Does Meshing Do?

Designed for simulation professionals, the Meshing Module in MeshWorks provides a comprehensive environment for generating high-quality finite element meshes. It integrates multiple meshing techniques – including tetrahedral, hexahedral, quadrilateral surface, and mid-plane extraction—within a single platform. By leveraging AI-driven feature recognition and intelligent meshing templates, the module automates workflows, reduces manual effort, and maintains full associativity with underlying CAD geometry. This enables fast regeneration of meshes after design changes, improving productivity and adaptability throughout the simulation lifecycle.
