Master CFD Preprocessing: Generate High-Quality Mesh with Reduced Preparation Time

Session Highlights

• Critical Role of Meshing: Understanding why meshing accounts for 50% of the total simulation time and how mesh quality directly impacts final, accurate CFD results.
• Seamless Open FOAM Integration: Demonstration of a modern Graphical User Interface (GUI) to streamline problem setup, boundary conditions, and post-processing for Open FOAM users.
• Automated Geometry Cleanup: Live demonstration of CAD repair features used to fix critical defects like gaps, overlaps, and missing faces, ensuring a watertight domain.
• Mastering Mesh Quality Metrics: In-depth analysis of key quality metrics, including Aspect Ratio, Skewness and Non-Orthogonality, along with recommended criteria for solver convergence.
• High-Quality Volume Meshing: Techniques required to generate various complex volume meshes, including Polyhedral elements and mandatory Prism boundary layers.
• Core Meshing Concepts: Review of different mesh types (Hybrid, Structured, Unstructured) and the fundamental meshing algorithms, such as Topology-Based meshing and the Shrink-Wrap method.
