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.



Advanced control of global meshing

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

  • 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


Extended capabilities for application of local mesh parameters

Progressive mesh defined for each side of a planar element

 

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

 

 

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

 

  • Different meshing parameters for each side of planar elements

 

 

Definition of mesh on planar element using points and lines

 

  • Different meshing parameters for each side of planar elements


Various display options of the meshed design

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

 

  • 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.)
