Meshing Services From Milestone
|
|
|
Using the latest meshing technology within
Hyper-Mesh ICEM-CFD, ANSA
Milestone offer a complete
grid generation service for FEA, CFD, Boundary Element or any
other discredited methods. You can either provide your own CAD
as a starting point or allow us to generate both the
underlying geometry & the mesh, including parametric
studies if required. We can also modify legacy meshes to
improve quality or accommodate changes in geometry.
Previous meshing projects undertaken have ranged from
a few hours to months. All types of structured &
unstructured meshes can be generated, from shells to
tetrahedral & hexahedral elements. The completed mesh can
be exported in a solver format of your choice, including
metrics on mesh quality as requested. As with our other FEA
& CFD services, all meshing projects are undertaken in
line with our customer specified quality standard.
Typical
meshing applications & services include:
Fixed Price Consulting - A high quality mesh can be
generated at a fixed price on either your own CAD or geometry
that we have created from scratch. Most native & neutral
geometry formats are accepted.
Subcontract Services - If you prefer, a Milestone
engineer can work on-site to supplement your current CAE
team.
Extensive Solver Support - Meshes can be exported
to over 100 popular FEA & CFD codes, including NASTRAN,
ABAQUS, ANSYS, LS-DYNA, FLUENT, STAR-CD & ANSYS CFX.
Geometry Healing - Mesh generation problems are
often caused by poorly defined geometry. We can fix geometry
errors & our patch-independent meshing tools ensure that
the final mesh is not affected by cracks, holes & thin
slivers.
Surfacing / Midplane Extraction - Solid model
meshing of "thin" parts is generally not suitable for accurate
FEA. Powerful midplane extraction capabilities, including
variable thickness, enable us to generate superior shell
element assemblies.
100% Pure or Hybrid Meshes - 100% hexahedral meshes
can be generated for demanding FEA & CFD applications,
including LS-DYNA explicit simulations. Hybrid meshing is
available for mixed tetrahedral/hexahedral element structures
and also the use of boundary layer prisms in CFD.
Mesh Morphing - Even if you already have an
existing mesh we can help. The surface of the mesh can be
extracted & converted back to geometry as the basis of a
new, superior mesh. Alternatively, we can morph your original
mesh to improve quality and generate rapid shape changes while
retaining the existing connectivity & boundary
conditions.
STL/Faceted Surface Handling. - Faceted surface
data, as commonly obtained from scanning & rapid
prototyping applications, can be cleaned up & meshed with
solid or surface elements as required.
Combined Consulting & Training - Learning how
to mesh geometry quickly yet effectively can be difficult and
takes time even if standard training courses are attended. Our
combined consulting & training option enables you to learn
efficient meshing techniques on your actual parts. Details on
standard training courses are found here.
