Meshing
shonMesh delivers high-quality mesh generation for both triangular surface meshes and tetrahedral volume meshes. Its intelligent sizing control lets you define mesh resolution globally or refine it locally where needed, ensuring optimal detail without unnecessary computational overhead. Built-in mesh quality assessment and visualization tools provide immediate feedback on your mesh integrity, while automated mesh repairing capabilities fix common geometric issues before they impact your simulation. This streamlined workflow ensures you start every analysis with a reliable, optimized mesh that balances accuracy and performance.
Geometry Handling
shonMesh streamlines CAD geometry preparation with intelligent automation. It detects and heals common geometric issues such as intersections and penetrations, reducing manual cleanup time. The Smart Selection tool recognizes similar faces and features, allowing you to apply settings across multiple regions with a single click. Semi-automatic defeaturing efficiently removes chamfers, fillets, and holes, reducing mesh complexity without sacrificing accuracy. Define boundary patches directly on your geometry to organize your simulation setup, and use the volume extraction tool to automatically derive fluid domains from solid geometries. This comprehensive geometry handling ensures your models are simulation-ready with minimal manual intervention.
Automation
Repetitive operations like meshing can be fully automated through shonMesh’s integrated Python interface. The workflow is straightforward: perform your operations in the GUI while the built-in recorder captures every step as Python code. Once recorded, you can adjust and generalize the script to handle variations in geometry or parameters. Execute the finalized script to process multiple geometries automatically, turning exhausting repetitive manual work into a single command. This capability is particularly valuable for batch processing, parametric studies, or standardized meshing procedures that need to be applied consistently.
