Aided Mesh

Mesh the domain quickly and easily

Requirements for automatic mesh generator:

No specific mesh informationAn initial mesh respecting the geometric featuresAn initial mesh respecting the geometric featuresOverwrite automatic mesh with classic and new mesh tools

New ToolsGlobal settings for meshingNew items to control mesh locally – point, line, face, volumeSpecial tool for specific characteristics of the physics: meshing of the skin depth
