We are pleased to announce the release of cfMesh 1.2, a major update that introduces an integrated graphical user interface (GUI), designed to simplify and accelerate meshing workflows for OpenFOAM users. Additionally, existing command‑line operations continue to...
Is meshing worth your money?

Is meshing worth your money?

CFD meshing software price is an important factor when deciding on purchasing the software. In this article, I will try to explain how it is formed, what exactly you pay, and why is meshing worth your money. All of us working on the CFD meshing software have heard the...

Is It Always The Mesh? Part 3: Non-Orthogonality

Is It Always The Mesh? Part 3: Non-Orthogonality

Quite often I hear complaints about the required number of non-orthogonality correctors to achieve convergence, and how it’s worthless even trying to run a solver on a mesh, etc. The point of this series of posts is to give you an overview of the popular myths and to...

Multi-Domain Meshing With CF-MESH+

1. Introduction Computational Fluid Dynamics has undergone rapid development in the last two decades. The problems that can be solved with it range from simple laminar flows to very complicated multi-phase flows including heat exchange. CF-MESH+ multi-domain feature...

The Outer Boundary Layer

The Outer Boundary Layer

Introduction The outer boundary layer is a very useful option in our boundary layer library. Mostly it is used in aerodynamic and heat transfer applications, where a fine boundary layer near the wall is desired. Its role is to provide a smooth transition between the...

Feature Edges With CF-MESH+

Feature Edges With CF-MESH+

1. What are feature edges The feature edges are surface mesh sub-elements whose existence is often very important in the meshing process – where they are treated as constraints. These are the sharp corners/edges in the domain which, when specified as feature edges,...
