By DE Editors

XYZ Scientific Applications, Inc. (Livermore, CA) announced TrueGridVersion 2.3, the latest release of its hex mesh generator for finite element analysis (FEA) and computational fluid dynamics (CFD)  analysis. V2.3 offers a 64-bit version for models greater than 25 million nodes and accuracy up to 13 digits.

New features were added to support LS-Dyna, Abaqus, and ANSYS, as well as up to date output options for CFX5 and StarCD. TrueGrid V2.3 also supports Kiva 4.

V2.3 provides more flexibility to users with new programming features such as arrays with indices and looping to customize algorithms within TrueGrid. Mesh density can now be changed globally with a single parameter. Assemblies are made easy using the transitioning feature that allows users to connect coarse and dense hex meshes between dissimilar parts. Smoothing features create uniform elements across multiple disconnected blocks.

TrueGrid V2.3 reads input and stores command history effortlessly. No clean-up work is necessary when importing CAD geometry. Polygonal data can be imported directly as surface geometry. Diagnostic features and advanced fast graphics assure the user of the best quality mesh. The TGhist feature records each part history,  forming the most efficient way to reproduce a part.
