Geometry for the hydraulic turbine's spiral casing was imported into Gridgen from a native Unigraphics file. The mesher's latest release includes an interactive visual mode in which problem areas are highlighted so users can quickly select and repair them. |
Native access to Catia V4, Pro/E, STEP, and UGS avoids translation errors that can occur when using open-standard-file formats. The mesher tolerates CAD-model faults while meshing. Instead of forcing engineers to repair gaps and overlaps in the geometry to construct a watertight solid, Gridgen meshes the geometry. During the meshing, Gridgen applies a suite of automated, global, and local tools to merge the mesh over gaps in the CAD geometry.
