High Fidelity Meshing for Complex Designs in AEC

HyperMesh, the most trusted industry standard for FE modeling and visualization, is ideal for complex connections or industries that need to analyze 3D hexahedron or tetrahedron solid elements meshes. This advanced meshing overview for the AEC industry describes when advanced meshing is ideal for 1D, 2D, and 3D applications and the open architecture that enables HyperMesh's pre-processor to integrate with workflows using different FEA solvers. Using a 3D concrete dam model meshed with 3D solid elements, we show how to:

• Adjust views and separate model components into different groupings for individual visualization and modification
• Add surfaces, cavities, fillets, etc.
• Combine, intersect, and detach solids
• Use mesh morphing tools to modify complex meshed geometry quickly
