About meshing algorithms

The SMESH module contains a set of meshing algorithms, which are used for meshing of all kinds of entities (1D, 2D, 3D) composing geometrical objects. They are as follows:

• For meshing of 1D entities (edges):

• Wire discretization meshing algorithm

• For meshing of 2D entities (faces):

• Triangle meshing algorithm

• Quadrangle meshing algorithm

• For meshing of 3D entities (volume objects):

• Hexahedron meshing algorithm

• Tetrahedron meshing algorithm

To apply a meshing algorithm

In the main menu select Hypotheses > Create Algorithms

The following menu will appear:

Select one of the menu items and click Create. The created algorithms shall appear in the Object Browser under the Algorithms folder:
