DEP MeshWorks enables high quality QUAD, TRIA, TETRA, HEXA meshing
Highly automated meshing functions to create exceptional quality meshes with minimal user intervention in the shortest time possible
HEXA Meshing strategies of DEP MeshWorks
DEP MeshWorks has a powerful CAE meshing engine that allows users to create 2D and 3D meshes rapidly from complex CAD data.
Depending on your expectations regarding the ratio time spent for meshing over quality of the output, DEP MeshWorks is always having a solution.
For instance in one hand, the "One click HEXA mesher" will create a cavity of your volume and automatically morph and adjust the borders of your component in few seconds.
In the other hand, users can achieve a high-quality mesh in significantly less time with DEP MeshWorks functions when compared to traditional meshing applications.
HEXA cutter
The "HEXA cutter" is a unique feature of DEP MeshWorks enabling to update your HEXA meshes in the third direction according to CAD curves, 1Ds, etc.
If necessary print holes, special features directly on your already generated HEXA mesh.

Thin-wall HEXA mesher
The "Thin-wall HEXA mesher" can rapidly convert a mid-plane QUAD dominant mesh to a HEXA-dominant mesh. Users can combine all of the HEXA mesher functions to generate a geometry hugging HEXA dominant mesh with minimal number of PENTA elements.

TETRA Meshing
The automated TRIA & TETRA mesher generates meshes that meet element quality requirements and mesh flow conditions in regular regions and special regions such as fillets, holes etc. Structural & CFD meshes are generated efficiently with flexibility of using several control parameters to generate meshes to suit the CAE engineers’ specialized requirements.
TETRA mesh can be controlled by a variety of factors such as gradation factor, layered tetra mesh, growth rate etc.

Model Building using DEP MeshWorks
Automatic 1D Bolt connection creation
A wide variety of bolted assembly connection elements can be automatically created. These involve a) through bolts, b) screws, c) detailed metric bolt modeling, d) bolt connections with beams/rigids etc.
Conventionally creating 20 bolts along with pretension sections would take 3.5 hours. Using DEP MeshWorks flow, one can do the same task in less than 30 minutes.

Automatic 3D Bolt connection creation
The steps in DEP MeshWorks are:
- By selecting multiple centre nodes and bolt definition, it is possible to create multiple bolts with Pre-tension sections and values in a single click.
- While creating bolt we can define bolt geometry like size, type of bolt, washer layers etc. and property definitions.
Why choose DEP MeshWorks for meshing?
Automatic CAD Clean-Up
Even though CAD clean-up requirement is minimal to nil, DEP MeshWorks offers a CAD engine with an extensive set of CAD functions for curve, surface and solid editing and manipulation.
If wanted, removes all the unnecessary features and retaining the main feature lines.

Patented parametric meshing
The patented parameterization technology of DEP MeshWorks transforms the meshes automatically into parametric during the meshing process itself.
The mesh generated is highly associative to the CAD geometry. This allows for highly automated update of the mesh as and when the CAD geometry changes and vice versa.

Integrated meshing
Meshing templates corresponding to different attributes such as stress/durability, stiffness/NVH etc. can be assigned in DEP MeshWorks to the CAD data. As a result meshes corresponding to all the different attributes can be generated from one single model eliminating the need for duplicated effort.
