Product catalog summary
Introduction
Meshing is a crucial component of computer-aided engineering (CAE) simulations, impacting the accuracy, convergence, and speed of solutions. ANSYS offers advanced meshing tools that automate and streamline the meshing process, enhancing the efficiency of transitioning from CAD to CAE.

Meshing Technologies
ANSYS provides a comprehensive range of meshing tools suitable for various physics, including solid, fluid, electromagnetic, shell, 2-D, and beam models. These tools offer flexibility in mesh complexity, from pure hex to detailed hybrid meshes, ensuring accurate simulation results.

Structures Modeling
For solid models, ANSYS offers robust quadratic tetrahedral meshing and pure hex meshes. Features like automatic contact detection and physics preferences automate the meshing process, allowing for initial batch mesh generation and subsequent refinement.

Fluid Modeling
ANSYS provides unstructured tri- and quad-surface meshing for fluid models, with features like boundary layer technology and advancing front tet mesh algorithms. Users can generate pure hex meshes and control interfaces with conformal or nonconformal meshes, crucial for fluid-structure interaction problems.

Electromagnetic Modeling
ANSYS Emag software offers automated meshing for electromagnetic models, focusing on accurately capturing field regions with tet, hex, or hybrid meshes. It provides control over air gap meshing, essential for models with narrow gaps.

Shell and 2-D Modeling
ANSYS offers solutions for shell and 2-D modeling, using quad, quad-dominant, or all-triangle meshes to simplify 3-D physics into 2-D models. This is particularly useful for modeling sheet metal or thin structural parts.

Beam Modeling
ANSYS simplifies geometry to beam models, facilitating quick analyses with easy construction of simplified models.

Features and Controls
ANSYS meshing tools include various mesh methods (tetrahedral, hexahedral, surface, and beam meshing) and controls (global and local) to refine and optimize the mesh. These include settings for physics preference, relevance, inflation, curvature, proximity, and quality.

CAD Integration and Export
ANSYS supports bi-directional CAD connections with major software like CATIA, Unigraphics, and SolidWorks, and offers mesh export options to various simulation platforms.

Conclusion
ANSYS is a leader in engineering simulation software, trusted by top industrial companies for its comprehensive multi-physics solutions. Its meshing technologies provide the flexibility and accuracy needed to transform innovative design concepts into successful products.

ANSYS Meshing Solutions Comprehensive Multiphysics Meshing Tools Meshing is an integral part of the computeraided engineering simulation process. The mesh influences the accuracy, convergence and speed of the solution. Furthermore, the time it takes to create and mesh a model is often a significant portion of the time it takes to get results from a CAE solution. Therefore, the better and more automated the meshing tools, the better the solution. From easy, automatic meshing to a highly crafted mesh, ANSYS provides the ultimate solution. Powerful automation capabilities ease the initial meshing...
