NUMECA introduces a new generation of full Hex and Hex dominant meshing tools, covering the whole range of CAE applications, with a suite of dedicated tools for high-quality grids.
AutoMeshTM includes the following meshing tools:
AutoGrid5TM: Automatic Full Hex Multi-block Structured Meshing of Multi-stage Turbomachinery
HEXPRESSTM: Unstructured Full-Hexahedral Meshing
HEXPRESSTM/Hybrid: Parallel Unstructured Hex Dominant Meshing for complex and/or unclean geometries
IGGTM: Interactive Geometry Modeler and Multi-Block Structured Grid Generator
AutoMeshTM software systems are available on all major platforms as standalone software, interfaced with all major CFD commercial solvers and support direct CAD connectivity to most of the CAD systems.
