Chapter 1 Meshing Introduction 5
Advanced Meshing Tools
Provides a set of advanced meshing methods fro 1D, 2D and 3D meshing.
Wireframe (1D) & Surface (2D) Meshing
Provides a basic and advanced mesher for automatic and associative generation of a finite
element model on surface parts and wireframe geometries. Based on a powerful topological
engine, it provides advanced control for the generation of the finite element, saving significant
time for the user.
Solid (3D) Meshing
Provides a basic and advanced solid mesher, tetrahedron filler, a sweep mesher and a hybrid
(hexa dominant) minimal mesher for automatic and associative generation of a finite element
model on solid parts. Analysis specialists will find a complete mesh tool box for complex and
advanced solid meshing, while keeping all the benefits of the CAD-integrated solution.

(3D) Mixed Solid Meshing
Mixed Solid Mesher is especially indicated for complex solid component or assembly in the
context of dynamic analyses. It generates HEXA dominant 3D mesh depending on the geometry
complexity, wedges & tetra elements can also be generated.
For more information, refer to Mixed Solid Mesher (on page 6).
