Extrusion Meshing 3D Mesh supports extruding 3D elements from 2D elements. Input geometry is provided by the surface mesher as linear or parabolic triangles or quadrilaterals. Elements can be extruded along a piecewise cubic path or extruded along node normals with optional growth rate. Extrusion meshing is often used to generate boundary layers for computational fl uid dynamics and to generate hexahedral elements for 2.5D prismatic structures for mechanical analysis. Extrusion meshing supports: .. Input triangles extruded to tentahedra .. Input quadrilaterals extruded to hexahedra .. Automatic recession algorithm checks for extrusion collisions 3D Mesh also provides 2D Plane meshing to help support the transition to 3D applications. The special purpose 2D mesher is extremely fast and well suited for electronic analysis of a microprocessor and general two dimensional analysis (3 and 6 node triangles). 3D Mesh/ACIS/HOOPS Bridge 3D Mesh includes a bridge to 3D ACIS Modeler and HOOPS 3D Application Framework (HOOPS/3dAF) for fast, reliable integration. The bridges ensure integration reliability and rapid implementation. The bridge provides the ability to: .. Input geometry directly from ACIS and directed to the surface mesher .. Generate nodes and elements associated to ACIS entities .. Access internal meshing objects for specialized application needs .. Generate meshes from ACIS entities and display them via HOOPS DATA SHEET - 3D Mesh U.S. Corporate Headquarters 310 Interlocken Parkway, Ste. 200 Broomfi eld, CO 80021 Tel: 1+303-544-2900 Fax: 1+303-544-3000 Spatial Asia Headquarters c/o Dassault Systemes K.K.
