Use the CFD Tetramesh panel to generate hybrid grids, containing hexa/penta/tetra elements in the boundary layer and tetra elements in the core or fare field.
Local remeshing of a tetramesh can become necessary if baffles have to be included in an existing mesh or if the mesh has to be refined locally.
If the flow domain is split into several parts and each part is meshed independently, you need to ensure that the mesh is consistent/matching at the interfaces.
Create a hex-core mesh inside any arbitrary volume defined by a surface mesh consisting of 2D first order elements: tria3 and quad4.
The Curvilinear Hex Core meshing tool is designed for tube style systems, for example exhaust tubes, in which a centerline of the geometry can be generated easily.
The Wind Tunnel Mesh button on the Utility menu opens the Wind Tunnel Meshing function.
Create pyramids on the outer quad faces of components/collectors containing 3D/volume elements, or on 2D quad elements in which case pyramids are created on the side of the quads’ normals.
Mesh quality can be checked using the Check Elems panel. The Check Elems panel allows you to verify the basic quality of your elements and to verify the geometric qualities of those elements.
Use the Tetra Mesh Optimization to improve the quality of a tetra mesh with respect to several element criteria.
The Adaptive Wrapper is a useful utility to get a clean, water tight shell mesh out of 2D mesh containing several intersecting parts and small gaps which do not need to be modeled.
