This powerful, fully integrated facility allows the user to generate finite element meshes automatically over 2D flat or 3D generally curved surfaces created by CAD programs.

Salient Features Include:

• Supports quadrilateral, triangular, hexahedron, tetrahedron, wedge, and pyramid elements
• Accurate fit of the FE mesh to the geometry
• Uniform mesh or automatic mesh grading
• Global mesh refinement
• Local mesh refinement by specifying number of elements directly to curves bounding the geometry
• All Quad mesh with distortion control
• Mixed meshing for bounded solids
• Coarse mesh option for initial modeling or for NISA/P-ADAPT models
• Ability to directly mesh solid models using geometry transferred from CAD programs
• Inverse Dynamic Analysis
