Meshing Overview

Philosophy

The goal of meshing in Ansys Workbench is to provide robust, easy to use meshing tools that will simplify the mesh generation process. These tools have the benefit of being highly automated along with having a moderate to high degree of user control.

Physics Based Meshing

When the Ansys Meshing application is launched (that is, edited) from the Ansys Workbench Project Schematic, the physics preference will be set based on the type of system being edited. For analysis systems, the appropriate physics is used. For a Mechanical Model system, the Mechanical physics preference is used. For a Mesh system, the physics preference defined in Tools > Options > Meshing > Default Physics Preference is used.
