How can Fluent Meshing extend WB Meshing?
Workbench Meshing is the proposed meshing solution, Fluent
Meshing is a complement. With Workbench Meshing, you have
ease-of-use, parametric and persistence throughout the meshing , p p g g
process. But if the time/quality does not meet client needs for a
specific model, Fluent Meshing could be your back-up solution.
Note that geometry/mesh changes are not parametric with Fluent
Meshing, except using advanced scripting
Fluent Meshing has extended capabilities to produce high quality
meshes
Fluent Meshing is directly available to all Fluent users without any
additional cost or licenses
