GRAITEC : Advance Design Meshing

Advance Design includes a powerful finite elements engine, enhanced with the newest technologies. A simpler and faster automated meshing of complex structures is possible.

Meshing is an essential operation for the design calculation with the finite elements method. It separates the design elements in finite elements to refine the calculation results.

From modeling to structure meshing and finite elements analysis in Advance Design

The extended mesh capabilities of Advance Design allow you to apply and refine the meshing of each design element,
and results in a quality analysis of your design.

2 meshing algorithms: Delaunay and Grid

Ability to mesh solely by triangles, by quadrangles or using a combination of mesh shapes

Include the loads in the meshing process

Definition of default mesh elements size

Delaunay and Grid mesh by quadrangles, triangles and combined mesh shapes



	Progressive mesh at the beginning, end, center or at both ends of design elements

Different meshing parameters for each side of planar elements

Advance Design allows the imposing of different mesh parameters for each side of a planar element

Definition of mesh on planar element using points and lines

Apply the desired mesh using geometric objects (lines, polylines, points)

Display mesh on the entire design or on a selection

Display / hide nodes, mesh IDs, number of meshes

Define the mesh node size

Display the mesh along with different rendering styles and display parameters (perspective view, shadow, luminosity, transparency, etc.)

Advance Design: display the mesh for a certain part of the structure, keeping the rendering settings (transparency, perspective view...)
