Course Overview:
This 4–5 hour masterclass provides a hands-on approach to advanced meshing techniques focused on maximizing the use of high-quality hexahedral meshes for engineering simulations. The course introduces practical workflows and tools for efficiently preparing complex geometries, generating structured meshes, modifying existing meshes, and assembling mesh regions into complete simulation models.
Participants will learn advanced meshing strategies including Slice and Dice, Multizone and Thin Wall meshing, Mesh Pull, Mesh Workflows, and Mesh Assembly techniques. The focus is on achieving greater control over mesh topology and element distribution, enabling the creation of optimized hexahedral-dominant meshes that improve simulation accuracy, convergence, and computational efficiency.
Hexahedral meshes provide significant advantages for both structural and CFD applications. In structural analyses, they can improve stress prediction, reduce numerical errors, and provide better performance in models involving bending, nonlinear behavior, and contact interactions. In CFD simulations, high-quality hexahedral meshes enhance flow resolution, improve numerical stability, and reduce the computational cost required to achieve accurate results, particularly for boundary layers, internal flows, and complex geometries.
Through practical demonstrations and real-world examples, this masterclass will provide participants with the skills required to develop efficient, repeatable meshing workflows and produce simulation-ready meshes optimized for advanced engineering analyses.
