Distene has delivered a new release of MeshGems.

General highlights of MeshGems 2.8 are as follows:

  • New features include support of robust quadratic meshing for all the MeshGems components that is throughout the whole meshing process from surface to volume and for all the supported elements.
  • New Template delivered in the MeshGems distribution as part of an effort to help developers saving time and setting up a workflow, based on MeshGems-CADSurf, MeshGems-Cleaner and MeshGems-Tetra. This aims at generating a tetrahedral volume mesh out of a CAD file and which is applicable for dirty/noisy geometries.

Surface Meshing Features

There's a capability to generate a surface mesh out of a “hybrid CAD,” which is a geometry made of a combination of analytical CAD entities (whose geometries are defined by analytical functions, such as for example NURBS), and discrete CAD entities (whose geometries are defined by a tesselation).

Improvements

Improvements include mesh quality enhancement in the Discrete surface meshing workflow; increased meshing robustness; and better handling of complex overlaps in the cleaning process (MeshGems-Cleaner).

Volume Meshing

New features include volume proximity that is available also in MeshGems-Tetra_HPC. There is a process to include all the available options of MeshGems-Tetra into MeshGems-Tetra_HPC. Sub-domains are provided as input in Meshgems-Tetra and MeshGems-Tetra_HPC for a smoother integration into your CAE chain. There's also a Min/max edge length enforcement in MeshGems-Tetra_HPC.
