Ansys ICEM CFD provides advanced geometry acquisition, mesh generation, and mesh diagnostic and repair tools to provide integrated mesh generation for today’s sophisticated analyses.
Maintaining a close relationship with the geometry during mesh generation, Ansys ICEM CFD is designed for use in engineering applications such as computational fluid dynamics and structural analysis.
Ansys ICEM CFD’s mesh generation tools offer the capability to parametrically compute meshes from geometry in numerous formats:
Multi-block structured
Unstructured hexahedral
Unstructured tetrahedral
Cartesian with H-grid refinement
Hybrid meshes comprising hexahedral, tetrahedral, pyramidal and/or prismatic elements
Quadrilateral and triangular surface meshes.
Ansys ICEM CFD provides a direct link between geometry and analysis. In Ansys ICEM CFD, you can input geometry in almost any format, whether a commercial CAD design package, third-party universal database, scan data, or point data. Beginning with a robust geometry module that supports the creation and modification of surfaces, curves and points, Ansys ICEM CFD’s open geometry database offers the flexibility to combine geometric information in various formats for mesh generation. The resulting structured or unstructured meshes, topology, inter-domain connectivity, and boundary conditions are then stored in a database where they can easily be translated to input files formatted for a particular solver.
