Mesh Generation with SimScale | Meshing Tips & Tricks

Awesome video!

For CFD analysis of a FSAE Car, would you suggest continuing to use hex-dominant parametric mesh with the parameters given in the workshop or to try this new mesher? Outside of this video there is basically no other documentation to the standard mesher, right?

I would suggest using the new standard mesher which also works perfectly fine for CFD simulations, the settings are different though. Also note that the standard mesher is very stable and offers very useful features like "Small Feature Suppression". More details can be found in the doc: www.simscale.com/docs/simulation-setup/meshing/standard/

Great meshing! We will love to see polymesh🙂.

Usually SnappyHexMesh from OpenFOAM uses polymesh :)

5:50 you shouldn't tell that to university students. Give them a deadline with a week extra and they'll turn up with a solution haha.

[@JousefM]

True! :D

Nice video. I'm a product designer new to simulation so forgive the basic questions/comments. Checking mesh statistics is skill I don't have the time to develop so it would be nice if this could be built into the software. For example, at one point you created a "bad" mesh. Why does the software allow this? Presumably your experience tells you it would take too long to run. Can that experience be coded into the UI to prevent such a mesh? Also your coarse vs fine mesh segment didn't spell out the obvious to newbie dumb-dumbs like me. Which is that the mesh size affects the results! There was more red colour in the coarse simulation than for the fine one. I guess the images spoke for themselves. Thanks for the vid. Looking forward to diving in to the community plan!
