The Mesh Workflows object offers an alternative paradigm in Ansys Mechanical to enable mesh generation from complicated CAD geometries. When you use CAD geometries in simulation, it requires clean up and modifications.

Mesh Workflows offer a workflow-based approach for mesh generation of specific needs and support the use of predefined templates which can be customized as needed. Each Mesh Workflow consists of a series of steps which define the mesh generated, and each specific step in the workflow is based on a generic operation of a certain type. The Controls of an operation define what-to-do and how-to-do and provide a flexible composition of meshing algorithms and the Outcomes capture the results of an operation.

Refer to the Mesh Workflows section of the Meshing User's Guide for more information.
