ALTAIR BatchMesher


Altair BatchMesher - Take a "Hands-off" Approach to Building Quality Meshes






Altair BatchMesher dramatically reduces the time and effort required to create a high-quality finite-element mesh. For a given set of CAD files, BatchMesher automatically performs geometry feature recognition and clean-up, and auto-meshes parts and assemblies in batch mode.

BatchMesher directly reads native CAD file formats and performs powerful geometry clean-up operations to generate high-fidelity models for a specified element size and type. It also allows user-specified criteria to be defined to determine the quality index (QI) of a model. QI optimized meshing and node placement ensures consistent mesh quality.



Batch meshing results are stored in a HyperMesh database file that contains both the cleaned-up geometry and the finite-element mesh. In addition, process automation tools can be used to expand BatchMesher's capabilities to create custom batch meshing solutions for organizations.





Altair BatchMesher Benefits

Fast and Easy "Hands-free" Meshing

BatchMesher automatically combines a broad range of user-defined settings to rapidly generate high quality meshes while eliminating the need for manual interaction.

Streamlined GUI for Batch Mesh Setup

BatchMesher has an intuitive user interface for streamlined input of geometry clean-up parameters and mesh quality criteria enabling customized control over the entire process.

Extend Batch Modeling Capbilities to Fit Any Environment

Process automation tools add flexibility and control to the batch mesh process beyond model clean-up and meshing.

Automated Model Assembly

Highly automated methods for rapid model assembly and management of connections such as bolts, spot welds, adhesives and seam welds.

High Value Through HyperWorks

HyperWorks unique licensing system makes it possible to run BatchMesher with the same number of tokens as HyperMesh.





Altair BatchMesher New Feature Highlights

There is a new GUI (Graphical User Interface) for editing criteria and parameter settings.

  • Redesigned file browser for setting the input and output directories.
  • User control over launch time of a batch mesh job
  • Improved monitoring of "Run Status" displays individual and batch job-timing.
  • The criteria editor supports a solver specific element check tailoring the generated mesh to fit a solver's unique requirements.
  • Criteria editor now flags incorrect values saving time and eliminating errors up front.

    Multiple Washer Layer Support

    Enables users to accurately define multiple washer layers to meet stringent element requirements around holes.

    Midsurface Creation

    During the batch mesh process users can now automatically extract midsurfaces from thin walled parts of varying thickness.

    Flange Recognition Control

    Users can set-up various flange recognition parameters to obtain a more controlled mesh on flanged areas.
