Coreform Flex and Coreform Cubit 2025.3 are now available. Coreform Flex shows major robustness improvements and new public verification and reference manuals. Coreform Cubit includes bug fixes and small enhancements. Coreform Flex trimming robustness updates in 2025.3 This release features significant robustness improvements to the Coreform Flex trimming algorithm. Tet meshing is the incumbent fully-automatic meshing solution for complex geometries, but is still dependent on CAD characteristics allowing for the building of a valid surface mesh. The reality is that modern CAD often includes bad surfaces that cause a tri-mesh to fail. Coreform’s next-gen IGA trimming process is robust over many of these issues. Internal testing on a repository of over 2000 customer parts was benchmarked against the tet meshing capabilities in Coreform Cubit and Flex trimming was found to be more robust than the tet mesher. Other Coreform Flex updates Neo-Hookean elasticity Coreform has implemented a two-parameter, isotropic hyper-elastic neo-Hookean material that converges to the linear
