• Mesh Methods:
• Parts are meshed as
appropriate, hex where
possible, else tets
• User can insert mesh
methods to override the
Sweepable parts defaults.

• With curvature
• As Parts:
– 2 Faces at contact region
– Parts meshed separately
• As Multibody part:
– No contacts, since parts
share common face
– Multibody part meshed
as a whole
DM Attribute
• Contact Sizing
– Drag and Drop Contact Region into Mesh folder
– Influences the mesh sizing between parts

• 2D planar model
• 2D shell model
R11 R12
• Improved robustness
• Works at body level with other methods

Sweep
General
Sweep
• Multi-source/multi-directional imprinting
• Free decomposition
– Face topology is used to construct solid regions or blocks.
Each block can be swept independently provided the mesh is
conformal.
• Performance Improvements:
– Multibody part mesh memory utilization & speed
improved
– General memory reduction and speed improvements
• Improved Data-Integration:
– Named Selections stored to ACMO for use in CFX-Pre
– Fluent output improved
– CGNS output added
– Write ICEM CFD Files option for easier transfer to
ICEM CFD.
