Ansys Meshing Overview

What is Ansys Meshing?

ANSYS Meshing is a general-purpose, intelligent, automated high-performance product. It produces the most appropriate mesh for accurate, efficient multiphysics solutions. A mesh well suited for a specific analysis can be generated with a single mouse click for all parts in a model. Full controls over the options used to generate the mesh are available for the expert user who wants to fine-tune it. The power of parallel processing is automatically used to reduce the time you have to wait for mesh generation

What do you like best about Ansys Meshing?

Coming from ICEM-CFD, Meshing allowed to improve productivity significantly. It gives the possibility to automate processes within Workbench and allows parametrization and the possibility to access to other interesting meshing methods (sweeping). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ansys Meshing?

The tool is mostly a new front-end, while keeping many limitations of ICEM-CFD (very poor parallelization). In addition many warnings/errors are not clear and the tool was never updated to fix some bugs. For example, when you set an inflation on a named selection, if you change geometry the inflation will not work and you'll have to switch to geometry selection and back again to named selection. Another strong limitation is that you can apply a face sizing only on a geometry selection and a single named selection, not on multiple named selections. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Ansys Meshing?

ANSYS Meshing is a great tool for a wide variety of applications. Whether the mesh is structured, unstructured, or a combination of both, the software offers great flexibility and is able to generate high-quality grids with little input from the user.

The user interface is well designed and gets updated with every product release. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ansys Meshing?

The only thing that comes to mind is the limited options to size elements along lines. For now, only Bias Factor and Growth Ratio are available. It would be extremely helpful if more functions are added. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Ansys Meshing:

Refer to the User Guide for help Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Ansys Meshing solving and how is that benefiting you?

I have used ANSYS Meshing for a long list of problems. From simple geometries to complex systems, this software has allowed me to generate high-quality structured and unstructured grids. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Ansys Meshing?

Thanks to its ability to make fast meshes, it shortens project times in complex geometries.

During the meshing process, all parts can be controlled at the same time. Quality controls can be made to ensure the appropriate mesh criteria for the solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ansys Meshing?

Updating the geometry disappears meshes from other independent parts. It is necessary to start over again. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Ansys Meshing:

There are ANSYS documents to make it easier to use from the beginning to the end for new users.

There are mesh settings to bring a common solution in different application areas. This allows you to do your work faster and safer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Ansys Meshing solving and how is that benefiting you?

Instead of dealing with complex surfaces one by one in plastic parts, I created a very easy and accurate finite element construction with ANSYS MESH.

I usually use multizone mesh for solid parts and quad4 mesh for shell geometries. However, in some places I use tria3 element due to geometrical irregularities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Ansys Meshing?

ANSYS meshing is integrated into ANSYS Workbench, ANSYS APDL, and ANSYS Mechanical designer. It offers different meshing types and allows users to choose specific meshing size. Customizing meshing size and type is always helpful in engineering simulation. Meshing is also needed to be complete before getting into analyzing the deflection and stress level of a product/structure. ANSYS meshing chooses the most appropriate options based on the analysis type and the geometry of the model. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ansys Meshing?

Sometimes if the mesh size is very small and the meshing computational time would be loooong. And if you want to stop meshing at that moment, the only thing you can do is kill the meshing server from the Task Manager, which can affect other processes in ANSYS too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Ansys Meshing:

ANSYS Meshing works perfectly with most engineering simulations. It does the discretization job for a product/structure very well whichever meshing type/size you are using. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Ansys Meshing solving and how is that benefiting you?

Analyzing the responses of a steel structure under different loading conditions. ANSYS meshing is suitable and works well to give automatic and customized meshing depending on the analysis focus. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
