[Workbench] Meshing large geometry with workbench

fariba · April 21, 2014, 02:47

Hi everybody. I have a really huge geometry that I want to mesh in workbench. When I try to generate mesh using defaults, it takes more than 4 days to generate mesh (even for pc with 16Gb RAM). Do you think it is possible to generate mesh for different parts of geometry one by one? Or is there any solution for reducing meshing time?

Are you doing an assembly mesh or are you using local controls on it? 4 days is brutal, your element count must be massive. That makes it extremely difficult to refine your mesh and also make sure you have a quality mesh.

Thanks Limah, I did my meshing in icem then I merged meshes.
