ANSYS ICEM CFD

From CAD to mesh generation for analysis, ANSYS ICEM CFD  provides sophisticated geometry acquisition, mesh generation, mesh editing, a wide variety of solver outputs and post-processing. ANSYS ICEM CFD is the only Universal pre-processor for analysis including FEA, CFD and other CAE applications such as particle transport and computational electro-magnetics. Used for engineering applications such as computational fluid dynamics and structural analysis, ANSYS ICEM CFD's mesh generation tools offer the capability to parametrically create grids from geometry in multi-block structured, unstructured hexahedral, tetrahedral, hybrid grids consisting of hexahedral, tetrahedral, pyramidal and prismatic cells; and Cartesian grid formats combined with boundary conditions. ANSYS ICEM CFD is the swiss army knife of meshing, our product vision is to provide a variety of flexible tools that can generate "any" type of mesh on "any" type of geometry for "any" solver or "any" application.

Key Features:

• Intuitive built-in geometry creation and highly automated functionality for the modification and repair of imported CAD data
• Ability to work with both NURBs and faceted geometry types like STL or existing meshes
• Robust tools for creating all mesh types: hexahedral, tetrahedral, prism, pyramid, quad, tri or bar elements
• Highly tolerant of imperfect/overdetailed CAD data containing sliver surfaces, gaps, holes and overlaps (Patch Independence)
• Smoothing, coarsening, refinement, element type conversion, linear or quadratic element support
• More than 100 CFD/CAE solver interface formats
• File based transfer of CFD and structural results for Fluid structure interaction simulations
• Automated batch processing through an intuitive scripting framework
