Process Automation

What Does Process Automation Do?

The Process Automation (PA) capability in MeshWorks enables engineers to record, customize, and execute modelling workflows through a fully visual interface. Using the intuitive Record > Create GUI > Plumb > Publish methodology, users can capture CAE tasks and convert them into reusable automation scripts—without writing a single line of code. These automation routines support repeatability, consistency, and reduced modelling time across projects, making PA a powerful tool for standardizing simulation processes across an organization.

MeshWorks Uniqueness

MeshWorks’ Process Automation allows users to rapidly convert engineering workflows into standardized, repeatable automation routines using a four-step framework: Record, GUI Creation, Logic Plumbing, and Publish. These visual, script-free automations streamline CAD/CAE tasks across domains such as meshing, assembly, morphing, and parameterization. Whether customizing panels or deploying organization-wide automators, PA empowers teams to reduce manual effort, eliminate variation, and accelerate simulation cycles with minimal training or coding effort.
