    #1178 : Mesh controls in Hypermesh

    Product: HyperMesh
    Product Version: HW14.0 or above

    Topic Objective
    Meshing
    ing & automation using mesh controls in HyperMesh

    Topic Details
    Mesh controls are used to automate and streamline the meshing process. You can define one model
    mesh control, as well as an unlimited number of local mesh controls. Meshing is supported for
    BatchMesher, surface meshing, adaptive wrap meshing, and volume me meshing.

    Model mesh controls define mesh settings for all of the entities which need to be meshed in one meshing
    job. In general, model mesh controls reflect the mesh settings on a majority of the model. In order to run
    a meshing job, at least one model me
    mesh
    sh control must be defined. Multiple model mesh controls can be
    defined, but only one can be active and used to run a meshing job.

    Local mesh controls define mesh settings for specific areas of a model, and take precedence over model
    mesh controls. Local mesh controls are not mandatory, but are useful when local mesh settings need to
    be defined for a meshing job. An unlimited number of local mesh controls can be defined and used to run
    a meshing job. Local mesh controls have an on/off state which can be enabled
    enabled and disabled. When a
    meshing job is submitted, enabled mesh controls are considered and used to automate the meshing
    process.

    Import/Export Mesh Controls

    Mesh controls can be saved and reused across different models by exporting them to a template file
    (*.xml) and then importing them into a new HyperMesh session from the Mesh Controls tab. All defined
    mesh controls are exported to a single .xml file, which can be utilized as a template. The mesh control
    parameters are saved to the file, while
    whi any entity selection is not.
    Import/export mesh controls in the Mesh Controls tab by right-clicking
    right clicking on the Mesh Controls folder and
    selecting Import or Export from the context menu.

    Create and Modify Mesh Controls


    Mesh controls can be created for batch meshing, surface meshing, adaptive wrap meshing, volume
    meshing, and refinement zones.
    Create mesh controls by right-clicking
    clicking in the Mesh Controls tab and selecting Create from the context
    menu. The mesh control is created, and its corresponding para
    parameters
    meters are displayed in the Entity Editor.
    Define mesh control parameters accordingly. To create mesh controls specific to the different meshing
    types and refinement zones, right-click
    right click on a corresponding folder in the Mesh Controls tab.

    Modify mesh controls by selecting them in the Mesh Controls tab and modifying them in the Entity Editor.

    Enable and Disable Mesh Controls

    In the Mesh Controls tab, Enabled column, mesh controls can be enabled and disabled.

    Model Mesh Controls


    Multiple instances of model mesh controls can be defined, but only one can be enabled. Enable a model
    mesh control by selecting its corresponding radio button in the Enabled column.

    Local Mesh Controls


    An unlimited number of local mesh controls can be defined and enabled.
    enabled. Enable a local mesh control by
    selecting its corresponding checkbox in the Enabled column. Disable a local mesh control by clearing its
    corresponding checkbox.

    Meshing

    Once you are finished creating mesh controls, generate the mesh from the Mesh Controls tab.
    Create a mesh in the Mesh Controls tab by right
    right-clicking
    clicking on the BatchMesher, Surface Mesh, Adaptive
    Mesh, or Volume Mesh folders and selecting Mesh from the context menu. A mesh cannot be
    independently created for Refinement Zone controls.
