Chemical Processes

► Ability to define number of elements through a thickness to ensure proper

modeling through thin regions

► Anisotropic meshing to control stretch direction

► Ability to define symmetric meshing to ensure proper node alignment across periodic regions

Environmental

► Mesh with/without geometry |

► Use of meshing to simplify over-detailed geometry models

Pure hex meshing can selectively

capture or ignore features.
