best mesh generator for conjugate heat transfer?

June 1, 2007, 08:38

Hi,

Most of our conjugate heat transfer project involves very complex geometries (including small air gaps between parts). We use SolidWorks and Pro/E for creating solid models.

We have a solver that can handle conjugate heat transfer (conduction for solids and convection for air). Can anyone suggest a good mesh generator that can take solid models (from SolidWorks or Pro/E), mesh it, and export to I-DEAS unv format or abaqus inp format? I am also looking for good mesh quality, hybrid hex/tet mesh a plus.

Thanks!

Look at Ansys - ICEM CFD.
